4. Equation

In this subsection, we couple the equation (Static Elasticity Axis) of Elastic equation and (AV Axis) AV-Formulation in axisymmetrical coordinates.

The domain of resolution of electromagnetism part is \(\Omega^{axis}\) with bounds \(\Gamma^{axis}\), \(\Gamma_D^{axis}\) the bound of Dirichlet conditions and \(\Gamma_N^{axis}\) the bound of Neumann conditions such that \(\Gamma^{axis} = \Gamma_N^{axis} \cup \Gamma_D^{axis}\).

The domain of resolution of elastic part is \(\Omega_c^{axis} \subset \Omega^{axis}\) (and the domain of definition of electrical potential \(V\) and electrical conductivity \(\sigma\)) with bounds \(\Gamma_c^{axis}\), \(\Gamma_{D \hspace{0.05cm} elas}^{axis}\) the bound of Dirichlet conditions and \(\Gamma_{N \hspace{0.05cm} elas}^{axis}\) the bound of Neumann conditions such that \(\Gamma_c^{axis} = \Gamma_{D \hspace{0.05cm} elas}^{axis} \cup \Gamma_{N \hspace{0.05cm} elas}^{axis}\). The domain \(\Omega_c^{axis}\) correspond to the conductor.

The equation become coupled in one senses, the second equation (Elas-1 Axis) depends of potentials.

We don’t care of geometrical deformation which can change the mesh or the density. We suppose the geometry is fixed.

5. Geometry

The geometry is a torus of the conductor in cartesian coordinates \((x,y,z)\) or rectangle in axisymmetric coordinates \((r,z)\), surrounded by air.

6. Boundary Conditions

We impose the boundary conditions :

Magnetic Equation :
- Strong Dirichlet :
  - On zAxis : \(\Phi = 0\) (\(A_{\theta} = 0\) by symetric argument)
  - On infty : \(\Phi = 0\) (\(A_{\theta} = 0\) we consider the bound of resolution like infty for magnetic field)
Heat Equation :
- Neumann : \(\frac{\partial T}{\partial \mathbf{n}} = 0\) on Interior and Exterior
- Robin : \(-k \, \frac{\partial T}{\partial \mathbf{n}} = h \, \left( T - T_c \right)\) on Upper and Bottom. The Robin condition represents the cooling by water.
Elastic Equation :
- Strong Dirichlet : \(\mathbf{u} = 0\) on Upper and Bottom. The Dirichlet condition represents the embedding of mechanical part.
- Neumann : \(\bar{\bar{\sigma}} \cdot \mathbf{n} = 0\) on Interior and Exterior. The Neumann condition represents the freedom of displacement.
