Even if we do discover a complete unified theory, it would not mean that we would be able to predict events in general . . . even if we do find a complete set of basic laws, there will still be in the years ahead the intellectually challenging task of developing better approximation methods, so that we can make useful predictions of the probable outcomes in complicated and realistic situations....

The paper reviews the state of the art in modern field simulation techniques available to assist in the design and performance prediction of electromechanical and electromagnetic devices. Commercial software packages, usually exploiting finite element and/or related techniques, provide advanced and reliable tools for every-day use in the design office. At the same time Computational Electromagn...

This paper deals with an efficient and fast approach for determining the mutual inductance between thin current loops (filamentary coils, thin cylindrical coils, thin disk coils and all possible combinations). This approach is based on the filament method where conductors are approximated by a set of Maxwell’s coils. The resulting equations are expressed in term of the complete elliptical integ...

Electromagnetics is a fundamental part of biomedical engineering and modern healthcare due to the electromagnetic nature of several important processes in the human body and the interactions of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As a consequence, electromagnetics is exploited for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by a multitude of medical devices. The biomedical engineering society s...

This paper proposes a structure of classes that uses the concepts of object-oriented programming to develop a library based on computational intelligence techniques for optimization in electromagnetics. In this library, artificial neural networks and neurofuzzy networks are considered. Based on this division, the required classes for the library implementation are presented. Finally, the TEAM w...

The method of lines (MOL), a semianalytical procedure, is well known to experts in computational techniques in electromagnetics. The range of applications of the method has increased dramatically in the past few years; nevertheless, there is no introductory paper to initiate a beginner to the method. This paper illustrates the application of the MOL to solve Laplace’s equation in rectangular an...

The Wigner-Smith (WS) time-delay matrix relates a lossless and reciprocal system's scattering to its frequency derivative enables the synthesis of modes that experience well-defined group delays when interacting with system. elements WS for surface scatterers antennas comprise renormalized energy-like volume integrals involving electric magnetic fields arise exciting system via ports. Here, dir...

Code verification plays an important role in establishing the credibility of computational simulations by assessing correctness implementation underlying numerical methods. In electromagnetics, solution to integral equations incurs multiple interacting sources error, as well other challenges, which render traditional code-verification approaches ineffective. this paper, we provide separately me...
