2. 1. A hybrid finite element method for electromagnetics with applications in time-domain

   Author : DAVID DEGERFELDT; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nitsche s method; antenna arrays; NASA almond; edge elements; scattering; explicit-implicit time-stepping; Maxwell s equations; Finite Element Method; mass lumping; stability analysis; Finite-Differences Time-Domain; periodic structures; shape and material optimization;

   Abstract : In this thesis, a new hybrid method that combines the Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Finite-Difference in Time-Domain (FDTD) method is presented. Tetrahedrons in the unstructured FEM region are connected directly to thehexahedrons in the structured FDTD region. READ MORE

4. 2. Stable FEM-FDTD Hybrid Method for Maxwell's Equations

   Author : Thomas Rylander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Method; scattering; antennas; stability analysis; edge elements; Maxwell s equations; NASA almond; microwave circuits; mass lumping; proof of stability; explicit-implicit time-stepping; Finite-Differences Time-Domain;

   Abstract : In this thesis edge elements are applied to solve several problems in computational electromagnetics. In particular, a hybrid scheme joining the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) algorithm is developed, tested and exploited. READ MORE

5. 3. Computation of EMC Properties of Slots and Printed Circuit Boards

   Author : Jan Carlsson; RISE; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; corrugations; crosstalk; FDTD; spectral domain; EFIE; chokes; Finite Difference Method; printed circuit board; transmission line network; EMC analysis; PCB; transmission line theory; radiated emission; Method of moments; MM; MoM; electric field integral equation; soft and hard surfaces; slot; radiated susceptibility;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the numerical solution of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems for electronic systems, such as radiated emission, susceptibility and crosstalk on printed circuit boards and transmission through slots. The analysis of printed circuit boards is done by using an electric field integral equation (EFIE) expressed in the frequency domain, which is solved by using the method of moments. READ MORE

6. 4. Hybrid Solvers for the Maxwell Equations in Time-Domain

   Author : Fredrik Edelvik; Per Lötstedt; Jan Hesthaven; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maxwell s equations; time-domain; finite volume methods; finite element methods; hybrid solver; dispersive materials; thin wires; Beräkningsvetenskap; Scientific Computing;

   Abstract : The most commonly used method for the time-domain Maxwell equations is the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD). This is an explicit, second-order accurate method, which is used on a staggered Cartesian grid. The main drawback with the FDTD method is its inability to accurately model curved objects and small geometrical features. READ MORE

7. 5. Modified Stencils for Boundaries and Subgrid Scales in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

   Author : Jon Häggblad; Björn Engquist; Olof Runborg; Björn Sjögreen; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FDTD; Yee; Staircasing;

   Abstract : This thesis centers on modified stencils for the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD), or Yee scheme, when modelling curved boundaries, obstacles and holes smaller than the discretization length.  The goal is to increase the accuracy while keeping the structure of the standard method, enabling improvements to existing implementations with minimal effort.
