Electro-mechanical de-icer modeling with aeronautics application

The development of a multi physics model, for a new electro-mechanical de-icing solution, is presented in this article. The technology proposed by aeronautics industry resides in the principles of Laplace forces and plate elastic deformation. Electro-magneto-mechanical modeling is intended for expressing the interdependence between the mechanical response and the electrical stimulus. The resulting expressions incorporate the dynamics of the call and the particular topology of the structural elements of the system. Measurements issue from previous prototypes served to validate the final model. As the goal was to obtain a model adapted for optimization process, some results and perspectives are also discussed.
