This thesis examines the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and coupling in circuits and systems. The coupling phenomenon is investigated in nonuniform transmission lines and adjacent via structures in microelectronic circuits. Radiation from metallic enclosures with apertures and lined with resistive materials is analyzed. Electromagnetic interference on a larger scale is studied in...

Non-Destructive testing is useful in rail, pipeline and aerospace industries for maintenance of equipment, such as thickness measurements, corrosion and defect detection in materials. In this work a finite element analysis of an Electromagnetic acoustic transducer is presented. EMAT is an emerging technology that provides a non contact process of testing materials compared to ultrasonic sensors...

Modeling an anisotropic spatially and temporarily dispersive magnetodielectric medium by two independent collections of three dimensional vector fields, we demonstrate a fully canonical quantization of electromagnetic field in the presence of such a medium. Two tensor fields which couple the electromagnetic field with the medium and have an important role in this quantization method are introdu...

This paper presents a low-profile, planar electromagnetic vibration energy harvester integrated with a Halbach array. Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that doubles the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side. Using this arrangement can improve electromagnetic coupling in a limited space. The energy harvester ha...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...

The thermodynamics of an electrically charged, multicomponent continuous medium with intrinsic rotation is analysed in the presence of electromagnetic fields with a weak linear magnetoelectric coupling in the non-relativistic limit. Taking into account the chemical composition of the current densities and stress tensors yields scalar dissipation terms accounting for chemical reactivities and ve...

The ν = 1 quantum Hall ground state in samples like GaAs is well known to be ferromagnetic. The global SU(2) spin symmetry of the microscopic action is broken down to a U(1) symmetry by the ground state. The Goldstone bosons corresponding to this spontaneous breaking of symmetry are the ferromagnetic magnons which are neutral spin waves. In addition, there are topologically nontrivial, electric...

A fully canonical quantization of electromagnetic field is introduced in the presence of an anisotropic polarizable and magnetizable medium with spatialtemporal dispersion. Two tensor fields which couple the electromagnetic field with the medium and have an important role in this quantization method are introduced. The electric and magnetic polarization fields of the medium naturally are conclu...

Electromagnetic interference can be easily coupled into metallic shielding enclosure that is penetrated with a conducting wire, which having a harmful effect on electrical and electronic devices. To sudy the characteristics, Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) is applied in both frequency and time domain for modeling the coupling of an incident electromagnetic pulse (EMP) with a conducting wir...

The fundamental framework of transformation optics describes how coordinate transformations on electromagnetic fields can be physically realized through complex material parameters. This approach includes the possibility of transforming time as well as space, but the applications of such transformations remain relatively unexplored. Here we analyze the material properties and wave effects of a ...
