Electromagnetic and thermal behaviors of multilayer anisotropic composite materials

A methodology based on shell elements, to study the electromagnetic and thermal behavior of multilayered anisotropic conductive composite materials, is presented. The anisotropic behavior and orientation of each layer of the composite material has been taken into account. The model is validated with experimental results. It is then applied to study the induction heating of composite materials, and also to detect the delamination in these materials
