Conformal perfectly matched absorbers in finite element mesh truncation

2000-07-21
In the numerical solution of electromagnetic scattering and/or radiation problems by finite methods, a mesh truncation scheme must be employed in order to obtain a bounded computational domain. We discuss the realization of perfectly matched absorbers by means of a complex coordinate transformation in a general coordinate system. In this way, it is possible to design perfectly matched layers (PMLs) which are conformal to the antenna/scatterer surface. The performance of the PMLs are tested for certain problems, which are also described.

Near-field performance analysis of locally-conformal perfectly matched absorbers via Monte Carlo simulations
Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2007-12-10)
In the numerical solution of some boundary value problems by the finite element method (FEM), the unbounded domain must be truncated by an artificial absorbing boundary or layer to have a bounded computational domain. The perfectly matched layer (PML) approach is based on the truncation of the computational domain by a reflectionless artificial layer which absorbs outgoing waves regardless of their frequency and angle of incidence. In this paper, we present the near-field numerical performance analysis of o...
Multiscale Modeling of Thin-Wire Coupling Problems Using Hybridization of Finite Element and Dipole Moment Methods and GPU Acceleration
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-01-01)
In this article, a hybrid numerical method, called finite element method (FEM) + dipole moment (DM), is presented for efficient solution of multiscale electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems that involve structures with fine features, such as thin-wire antennas or objects. In this method, the FEM is hybridized with the DM approach to help ease certain computational burdens, such as mesh refinement, ill-conditioning, memory overload, and long computation times, when solving multiscale problems with...
Fixed-frequency slice computation of discrete Cohen's bilinear class of time-frequency representations
Ozgen, MT (2000-02-01)
This communication derives DFT-sample-based discrete formulas directly in the spectral-correlation domain for computing fixed-frequency slices of discrete Cohen's class members with reduced computational cost, both for one-dimensional and multidimensional (specifically two-dimensional (2-D)) finite-extent sequence cases. Frequency domain integral expressions that define discrete representations are discretized to obtain these discrete implementation formulas. 2-D ambiguity function domain kernels are chosen...
Thermal fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials using an equivalent domain integral approach
Dağ, Serkan (2006-12-01)
A new computational method based on the equivalent domain integral (EDI) is developed for mode I fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to thermal stresses. By using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic thermoelasticity, generalized definition of the J-integral is converted to an equivalent domain integral to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor. In the formulation of the EDI approach, all the required thermomechanical properties are assumed to ha...
MUTUAL COUPLING EFFECTS OF FINITE RECTANGULAR PHASED-ARRAYS
YAVUZ, H; BUYUKDURA, OM (1994-04-14)
A rigorous integral equation formulation for the analysis of a phased array of flangemounted waveguide apertures is given for a finite number of elements and nonuniform spacings. The resulting set of ihtegrd equations is reduced to a matrix equation called the coupling matrix which relates the coefficients of all the modes in all the waveguides to one another. The solution then yields the dominant mode reflection coefficient, coefficients of scattered modes and hence the field in each waveguide. The blockTo...
