The mechanical problem of flaking may appear at the interface of a compressed, but primary loose adjoined layer structure during the performed coupled mechanical and electromagnetic field calculation. Thereby, two different mechanical states, whereby either of them is generated from the other continuously due to rising electromagnetic forces, are included in the proposed computation method by applying floating potentials. The evaluation of the intermediate state between the primary compressed structure and the occurring flaking effect requires the knowledge of a subset of the usually received number of degrees of freedom, which are obtained from both mechanical and electromagnetic field results. Thus, the application of static condensation enables us to solve such a problem with a reduced number of degrees of freedom in an efficient way.
