Narendranath;Kalarickaparambil Joseph Vinoy","doi":"10.1109/JMMCT.2025.3603902","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/JMMCT.2025.3603902","url":null,"abstract":"Numerical electromagnetic computations must often accommodate random geometric representations while handling biological tissues, and engineered components with manufacturing tolerances. Meshless time-domain radial point interpolation method (RPIM) offers advantages to quantitatively analyze such geometric uncertainties using polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). Formulations for geometric uncertainties may require variations in mesh or node distribution for each analyzed sample, leading to high computational requirement for re-meshing. The proposed geometric stochastic RPIM (G-SRPIM) overcomes this with a single domain model by expressing the shape function matrix of RPIM in a stochastic framework. The uncertainty is quantified in G-SRPIM through a novel way by which its random support domain moment matrices are organized in a block structure, and inverted using Schur's complement and Neumann approximation, exploiting the underlying symmetry. The proposed method is validated by analyzing a parallel plate waveguide with a slit exhibiting random variations, a realistic 3D bio-electromagnetic problem involving a section of human head, and an iris filter with random variations in its iris dimensions. Standard deviation upto <inline-formula><tex-math>$45 %$</tex-math></inline-formula> of the average inter-node distance is tested without jeopardizing the stability. The accuracy of our approach is compared with Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations on a deterministic RPIM using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. Additionally, results are compared with MC simulation on CST Studio Suite 2018 and stochastic collocation (SC). The proposed method exhibits superior execution time compared to SC and MC-based non-intrusive implementations, underscoring its efficiency and reliability in handling geometric uncertainties in microwave components.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"396-406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some evanescent modes have been added to compensate for the additional degrees of freedom caused by the increased optimization range, so that the number of the extreme points to be controlled is still approximately equal to the number of degrees of freedom (NDF), maintaining the monotonic convergence property of the algorithm.

In the nanoscale regime, signal integrity (SI) of the copper interconnects degrades significantly. To address the signal integrity issues, these heterogeneous interconnects are developed at 7 nm technology nodes which are further used to make the crossbar arrays for neuromorphic computing. The proposed copper graphene heterogeneous interconnects were designed by stacking the layers of copper and multilayer graphene nanoribbons (MLGNRs) one over the other and a detailed signal integrity analysis is done based on the quantities like the per unit length Resistance, Insertion Loss (IL), Return Loss (RL), eye diagrams, surface charge density and volume current density. The results shows that the proposed interconnects outperformed the copper interconnects based on each and every SI quantity. Finally, in the application example, the best performing heterogeneous interconnects are used to create larger crossbar arrays with sizes 64 × 64, 128 × 128. Further, the key performance matrices such as the delay time, the rise time and the fall time are analyzed and compared with the conventional crossbars made from the copper interconnects.

Capable of operating at both 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz with minor structural modifications, it offers flexibility in tumor ablation systems. The research further incorporates and compares the sigmoidal model, a well-established computational method, and a recently developed parametric model for evaluating temperature-dependent properties in modeling the 3-D liver tissue, identifying differences in the ablation zone during MWA. Additionally, since both under and over ablation are major concerns during the MWA procedure, resulting in damage to healthy tissue and tumor recurrence, respectively, this study introduces a Taguchi Artificial Neural Networks (TNN) framework for the prediction of ablation zone in advance, thereby, significantly reducing the number of required training datasets without compromising performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"348-359"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144739814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A distinct cost function is developed for each of the two case studies. Using 20- and 36-element examples, several low side-lobe designs synthesized from ATMCAA and STMCAA are compared with traditional circular arrays. Through the manipulation of switching time sequence and progressive phase delay, the cost function is optimized to simultaneously reduce the side-lobe level (SLL) and directivity in ATMCAA and STMCAA.
