Simulation Analysis of Induction Heating as a Self-Healing Method on Asphalt

Asphalt is a self-healing material at specific temperature. The induced heating-healing of asphalt has been developed in the last few decades; an inductive can be created by adding material. This paper aims to predict performance induction heating as method on asphalt. numerical simulation carried out obtain suitable heater configuration. Numerical two stages, electrical analysis with ANSYS Electronics Desktop software and thermal Transient Thermal Analysis. A cylindrical sample modeled subjected electromagnetic field coil flowed high-frequency AC. As result, comparative temperature distribution obtained several current frequency variations. difference magnitude that affects asphalt's healing capacity. An increase configuration results more significant than increasing coil.
