Although it is known that the spectral element method (SEM) has both high accuracy and a lower computational cost when compared with finite-element or finite-difference methods, the SEM is not widely utilized in the modeling of boundary value problems in electromagnetics. This paper provides a 2-D formulation of the well-known perfectly-matched-layer approach in the context of the SEM for the frequency-domain electromagnetic problems in which dielectric scatterers are involved. The formulation is then utilized to numerically study photonic nanojets after the demonstration of SEM accuracy in an electromagnetic scattering problem. Interesting cases where unusual results are obtained from scattering dielectric cylinders are reported and discussed in this paper. On the other hand, a finite-difference time-domain method that is widely deployed for investigating photonic nanojets is found to fail in successfully capturing such resonance cases. Sharp resonances are characteristic of high-Q cavities and numerical methods with high accuracy, e.g., the SEM can provide superior performance while exploring such resonators.

Questioning Degree of Accuracy Offered by the Spectral Element Method in Computational Electromagnetics
Mahariq, I.; KURT, HAMZA; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-01)
In this paper, a comparison amongst the spectral element method (SEM), the finite difference method (FDM), and the first-order finite element method (FEM) is presented. For the sake of consistency, the comparison is carried out on one-dimensional and two-dimensional boundary value problems based on the same measure of error in order to emphasize on the high accuracy gained by the SEM. Then, the deterioration in the accuracy of the SEM due to the elemental deformation is demonstrated. Following this, we try ...
On the Attenuation of the Perfectly Matched Layer in Electromagnetic Scattering Problems with the Spectral Element Method
Mahariq, I.; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Tarman, Işık Hakan (2014-09-01)
Although Spectral Element Method (SEM) has been applied in the modeling of boundary value problems of electromagnetics, its usage is not as common as the Finite Element or Finite Difference approaches in this area. It is well-known that the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) approach is a mesh/grid truncation method in scattering or radiation applications where the spatial domain is unbounded. In this paper, the PML approach in the SEM context is investigated in two-dimensional, frequency-domain scattering probl...
Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2013-10-01)
This paper presents a mixed formulation frame element with the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory for displacement field and that accounts for interaction between shear and normal stress at material level. Nonlinear response of the element is obtained by integration of section response, which in turn is obtained by integration of material response. Satisfaction of transverse equilibrium equations at section includes the interaction between concrete and transverse reinforcing steel. A 3d plastic...
A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries
Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
Extension of forward-backward method with DFT-based acceleration algorithm for the efficient analysis of large periodic arrays with arbitrary boundaries
Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Chou, HT (Wiley, 2005-11-05)
An extension of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based forward-backward algorithm is developed using the virtual-element approach to provide a fast and accurate analysis of electromagnetic radiation/scattering front electrically large, planar, periodic, finite (phased) arrays with arbitrary boundaries. Both the computational complexity and storage requirements of this approach are O(N-tot) (N-tot is the total number of unknowns). The numerical results for both printed and freestanding dipole array's wit...
