The paper presents an optimization study based on
genetic algorithms (GAs) for a radiofrequency applicator used in
heating dielectric band products. The weakly coupled electrothermal
problem is analyzed using 2DFEM. 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 monoobjective and multiobjective
formulations are implemented in GA optimization.
