An overview of the magnetostatic field synthesis method, Variable Field Generation (VFG), and results from applying it to a test case to design magneto-plasma-aerodynamic (MPAD) devices to observe algorithm performance in the MATLAB programming environment are presented in this paper. The algorithm applied to this test case included integrating the Magnetostatic module of the finite element sof...

The Schrödinger theory of electrons in an external electromagnetic field is described from the new perspective of the individual electron. The perspective is arrived at via the time-dependent “Quantal Newtonian” law (or differential virial theorem). (The time-independent law, a special case, provides a similar description of stationary-state theory). These laws are in terms of “classical” field...

The theory of the response of strain and vectorial seismographs to surface waves is reviewed and extended. Preliminary observations are discussed.

Micromagnetic simulations are elaborated to describe the magnetic dynamics in ferromagnetic bodies. In these simulations, most of the time is spent on the evaluation of the magnetostatic field in the magnetic material. This paper presents a new numerical finite difference scheme for the evaluation of the magnetostatic field based on the fast multipole method (FMM). The interactions between fini...

The problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. Using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...

In the present paper, the propagation of surface wave in a generalized thermoelastic solid with voids is considered. The governing equations are solved to obtain the general solution in x-z plane. The appropriate boundary conditions at an interface between two dissimilar half-spaces are satisfied by appropriate particular solutions to obtain the frequency equation of the surface wave in the med...

A theory is presented for computing waves radiated from waves on a smooth surface. With the assumption that attenuation of the surface wave is due only to radiation and not to dissipation in the surface material, the radiation coe cient is derived in terms of the attenuation factor. The excitation coe cient is determined by the reciprocity condition. Formulas for the shape and the spreading of ...
