Applied Computational Electromagnetics

@EOI: AEI rEOMETPEI Epigram of the Academy of Plato in Athens Electromagnetism, the science of forces arising from Amber (HAEKTPON) and the stone of Magnesia (MArNHLIA), has been the fOWldation of major scientific breakthroughs, such as Quantum Mechanics and Theory of Relativity, as well as most leading edge technologies of the twentieth century. The accuracy of electromagnetic fields computations for engineering purposes has been significantly improved during the last decades, due to the deVelopment of efficient computational techniques and the availability of high performance computing. The present book is based on the contributions and discussions developed during the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Applied Computational Electromagnetics: State of the Art and Future Trends, which has taken place in Hellas, on the island of Samos, very close to the birthplace of Electromagnetism. The book covers the fundamental concepts, recent developments and advanced applications of Integral Equation and Metliod of Moments Techniques, Finite Element and BOWldary Element Methods, Finite Difference Time Domain and Transmission Line Methods. Furthermore, topics related to Computational Electromagnetics, such as Inverse Scattering, Semi-Analytical Methods and Parallel Processing Techniques are included. The collective presentation of the principal computational electromagnetics techniques, developed to handle diverse challenging leading edge technology problems, is expected to be useful to researchers and postgraduate students working in various topics of electromagnetic technologies.

Survey of latest research on computational electromagnetics Presents fundamental methods with applications Only book to cover the subject so widely May be used as a graduate text

Klappentext

This volume, arising from a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Greece in 1997, surveys latest research on computational electromagnetics and its applications. It presents the fundamental methods developed in the last 30 years as well as applications and comparisons of the various methods. Seven parts cover the following topics: integral equation techniques and method of moments solutions, finite element and boundary element techniques, finite difference time domain methods, transmission line methods, inverse scattering problems, semi-analytical and special numerical techniques, and parallel processing methods. Several technology applications such as radar cross section computations, EMC/EMI analysis, antenna and filter design, high-speed circuit structures, and biomedical engineering are analyzed. No other book covers this field so widely and the text may be used for graduate study.
