Title: Numerical Analysis of Electromagnetic Fields
Description: This book includes almost all of the commonly used numerical methods for analysing boundary value problems involving electromagnetic fields. These methods are catalogued into domain methods and boundary methods, based on onthe dif- ferential and integral equations, respectively. All these methods are analysed in terms of general concepts by using the weighted residual principle and the principle of varia- tions. The reader isshown the theoretical basis of each method, its advantages and disadvantagesand the rela- tionship between the different methods, so that practical problems may be solved effectively and new methods suitable for specific problems may be created. Examples and compu- ter programs are provided to illustrate the principles, methods and applications. Both the "how" and "why" of the methods are explained clearly.The contents are approached step by step to facilitate understanding. Based on the ana- lysis of electromagnetic fields, the optimization of the design of electromagnetic devices is introduced in the last two chapters.
Subjects: Engineering, Production of electric energy or power, Electromagnetic fields, Field theory (physics), Numerical analysis, Finite element method, Boundary element methods
