The weakly coupled electro-thermal problem is analyzed using 2D-FEM. The design variables in the optimization process are: the voltage of a supplementary “guard" electrode and six geometric parameters of the applicator. Two objective functions are used: temperature uniformity and total active power absorbed by the dielectric. Both mono-objective and multiobjective formulations are implemented in GA optimization.}, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {11}, year = {2008}, pages = {3668 - 3673}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14150}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/23}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 23, 2008}, }
