Description
Employed in a large number of commercial electromagnetic simulation
packages, the finite element method is one of the most popular and
well-established numerical techniques in engineering. This book
covers the theory, development, implementation, and application of
the finite element method and its hybrid versions to
electromagnetics. FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR ELECTROMAGNETICS begins
with a step-by-step textbook presentation of the finite method and
its variations then goes on to provide up-to-date coverage of three
dimensional formulations and modern applications to open and closed
domain problems. Worked out examples are included to aid the reader
with the fine features of the method and the implementation of its
hybridization with other techniques for a robust simulation of
large scale radiation and scattering. The crucial treatment of
local boundary conditions is carefully worked out in several stages
in the book.
