ISBN: 1613532318
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This unique reference is the first to cover the theory of adjoint sensitivity analysis and explains how it can be applied to different types of electromagnetic structures. It is an invaluable book for anyone looking for an in-depth understanding of this useful theory for application in high-frequency electromagnetic problems. It uses the popular FDTD method to show how wideband sensitivities can be efficiently estimated for different types of materials and structures, and includes plenty of well-explained MATLAB(R) examples to help readers absorb the content more easily. Topics covered include a review of FDTD and an introduction to adjoint sensitivity analysis; sensitivity of the fields to changes in material parameters; sensitivity of S parameters; extension to dispersive material parameters, where the underlying FDTD algorithm must be modified; second-order sensitivity analysis; time-domain responses; and applications to nonlinear and anisotropic materials. This book will make the theory more understandable to the broadest possible audience. It will be useful for researchers and advanced students involved in computational techniques for electromagnetics, and other disciplines such as microwave, optics, acoustics, and semiconductor modelling.

Metamaterial Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers
Author: Willie J. Padilla
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031037650
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Electromagnetic metamaterials are a family of shaped periodic materials which achieve extraordinary scattering properties that are difficult or impossible to achieve with naturally occurring materials. This book focuses on one such feature of electromagnetic metamaterials—the theory, properties, and applications of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation. We have written this book for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners, covering the background and tools necessary to engage in the research and practice of metamaterial electromagnetic wave absorbers in various fundamental and applied settings. Given the growing impact of climate change, the call for innovations that can circumvent the use of conventional energy sources will be increasingly important. As we highlight in Chapter 6, the absorption of radiation with electromagnetic metamaterials has been used for energy harvesting and energy generation, and will help to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Other applications ranging from biochemical sensing to imaging are also covered. We hope this book equips interested readers with the tools necessary to successfully engage in applied metamaterials research for clean, sustainable energy. This book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction and a brief history of electromagnetic wave absorbers; Chapter 2 focuses on several theories of perfect absorbers; Chapter 3 discusses the scattering properties achievable with metamaterial absorbers; Chapter 4 provides significant detail on the fabricational processes; Chapter 5 discusses examples of dynamical absorbers; and Chapter 6 highlights applications of metamaterial absorbers.

Topology Optimization Theory for Laminar Flow
Author: Yongbo Deng
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811046875
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This book presents the topology optimization theory for laminar flows with low and moderate Reynolds numbers, based on the density method and level-set method, respectively. The density-method-based theory offers efficient convergence, while the level-set-method-based theory can provide anaccurate mathematical expression of the structural boundary. Unsteady, body-force-driven and two-phase properties are basic characteristics of the laminar flows. The book discusses these properties, which are typical of microfluidics and one of the research hotspots in the area of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), providing an efficient inverse design approach for microfluidic structures. To demonstrate the applications of this topology optimization theory in the context of microfluidics, it also investigates inverse design for the micromixer, microvalve and micropump, which are key elements in lab-on-chip devices.
