Time domain simulation of coupled sloshing–seakeeping problems by SPH–FEM coupling

Domain Decomposition Methods in Electrothermomechanical Coupling Problems

In this contribution, we are concerned with electrothermomechanical coupling problems as they arise in the modeling and simulation of high power electronic devices. In particular, we are faced with a hierarchy of coupled physical effects in so far as electrical energy is converted to Joule heat causing heat stresses that have an impact on the mechanical behavior of the devices and may lead to m...

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures

Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...

Dynamic Coupled Thermo-Viscoelasticity of a Spherical Hollow Domain

The generalized coupled thermo-viscoelasticity of hollow sphere subjected to thermal symmetric shock load is presented in this paper. To overcome the infinite speed of thermal wave propagation, the Lord-Shulman theory is considered. Two coupled equations, namely, the radial equation of motion and the energy equation of a hollow sphere are obtained in dimensionless form. Resulting equations are ...

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Low-F# Fresnel Zone Plates Coupled to IR Antennas

Fresnel Zone Plate Lenses (FZPLs) have been successfully coupled to infrared (IR) antennas producing a responsivity enhancement of about two orders of magnitude. However, their lateral extension may compromise their applicability in focal-planearrays (FPA) IR imagers, where the dimensions of the pixel are constrained by the FPA spacing. When designing optimum-gain FZPLs for FPAs, we are lead to...
