Analysis of the effects of magnetic field on the induced stress in drilled plates

► Experimental verification of the presence of induced stress in a drilled plate of steel by the magnetic field. ► Theoretical determination and magnetic and structural FEM analysis, with experimental determination of permeability curve. ► Determination, by FEM; of the better position of the coils to increase compressive stress around the hole. ► Simulation of the crack growth by FEM to verify the improvement of the strength plate when subjected to tensile static load.
