Sumario:We present a semianalytical model for calculating the forces exerted on cookware in domestic induction heating applications. The developed model is based on the Maxwell''s stress tensor and is also based on the existing semianalytic expressions of the electromagnetic fields in planar induction heating systems, which are expressed in terms of Fourier-Bessel series. Taking advantage of the axial symmetry of usual domestic induction heating systems, the flux of the vertical component of the Maxwell''s stress tensor is analytically integrated and the vertical force is obtained. The proposed model captures both eddy currents and magnetization that occurs in typical ferromagnetic cookware. The model is verified by means of two-dimensional Finite Element simulations and also is tested by means of measurements of the change of the weight experimented by cookware due to the forces during the heating process.
