However, compared with a conventional integral equation in the method of moments (MoM), the conventional CSIE involves more matrices and more complex numerical processing, and these make the CSIE inefficient, especially for multiple excitation problems. In this article, a characteristic basis function (CBF)-based CSIE with initial guess is proposed to mitigate this problem. The CBF is employed to reduce the number of unknowns as well as the storage consumptions and iteration time. In the meantime, an initial guess especially for CBFs is proposed to reduce iterations when solving multiple excitation problems. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140546589","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}

The proposed method employs Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) polynomials to represent the wave function. Easy construction of higher-order element makes refinement straightforward and spectral accuracy can be obtained from the SETD. Meanwhile, by utilizing the GLL quadrature, a diagonal mass matrix is obtained which is meaningful in the time-stepping process. Numerical experiments confirm that, for open boundary problems, employing PML yields results characterized by high numerical efficiency, remarkable flexibility and ease of implementation. These findings underscore the effectiveness of SETD-PML in addressing the challenges posed by open boundary conditions, making it a reliable choice for numerical simulations.

This paper employs a 3-D finite element method (FEM) for coupled mechanical and electromagnetic analysis and proposes boundary conditions for dynamic sliding contact to investigate current distribution on the A/R interface. Results show that contact pressure and area have similar trends as the driving current, which confines current distributed areas. The current distributions on stationary and sliding interfaces reveal different patterns but the distributed areas both locate within the contact areas. In the case of the stationary scenario, the current concentrates at the trailing edge when the current increases and diffuses to the leading edge when the current declines. However, due to the velocity skin effect (VSE), the current fails to diffuse into the interior during all stages. Besides, comparative calculations with constant contact indicate that forced shifts of current occur when the contact is dynamic, dominating the current distributions of the A/R interface. Moreover, the influence of the VSE on forced shifts of current is notable, with significant current variations observed near the trailing edge, whereas those around the leading edge are less pronounced.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141292551","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}

However, it is a common practice to ignore those couplings when establishing equivalent circuit models. Neglecting these couplings leads to inaccurate circuit modelling. Therefore, it becomes imperative to account for mutual couplings in the development of accurate equivalent circuit models. This work presents a holistic process for synthesizing the equivalent circuit model of an electromagnetic (EM) field structure that incorporates mutual couplings of varying orders. The proposed high-order framework begins by developing equivalent circuit models for each individual transmission line discontinuity within the target circuit. Subsequently, the mutual couplings of different orders are extracted in a step-by-step manner. Throughout this process, full-wave EM simulations are deployed, along with a circuit parameter extraction method that utilizes de-embedded circuit responses. By combining these techniques, a comprehensive and accurate equivalent circuit model is generated, enabling a detailed analysis of the target field model structure, and facilitating a deeper understanding of its electrical and magnetic behavior and performance. This paper utilizes a three-step microstrip discontinuity structure and a third-order parallel coupled microstrip filter as examples for theoretical and experimental demonstration of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140919115","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}

With an increase of the operation frequency of foil windings, however, capacitive effects between adjacent turns in the foil winding become relevant.

Then, a lit-shadow judgment criterion is introduced, and a general iteration formulation for proposed method is presented. Additionally, new amplitude and phase function expressions suitable for the QIPO method are proposed to accurately compute the far-field results. It is also verified for the case of discretization with quadratic triangular patches (QTIPO). To address numerical singularities, the QIPO method considers a linear phase function, where closed-form solution are provided.
