Electromagnetic processes in thermocouples under dynamic loading

Electromagnetic processes in flat thermocouples made of metals with varying conductivity under conditions of dynamic loading with a traveling load are studied. The distribution of the electric potential over the thermocouple surface is shown to carry information on the velocity field and the straine d state of the thermocouple materials. An experimental procedure for valida ting various theoretical models of continue under high-velocity deformation is proposed. As an illustration, results of numerical simulations for flow of an ideal incompressible fluid are presented.
