Efficient design of electromagnetic devices requires the analysis of electric and magnetic field distributions. To this end, the boundary element method (BEM) has been shown to be a powerful technique. This paper presents the use of BEM in computer-aided magnetic field analysis. The advantages of BEM over the finite element method (FEM) are stated. The recent introduction of BEM in a generalize...

We report on the results of an EIT phantom study using an experimental tank with agar conductivity inhomogeneities, used to verify the accuracy of both a boundary element method (BEM) forward model and a non-linear inverse solution based on the BEM model. We introduce the shunt electrode model into the BEM equations for greater accuracy and derive the associated Jacobian for the inverse problem...

Some recent developments in the modeling of composite materials using the boundary element method (BEM) are presented in this paper. The boundary integral equation for 3D multi-domain elasticity problems is reviewed. Difficulties in dealing with nearly-singular integrals, which arise in the BEM modeling of composite materials with closely packed fillers or of thin films, are discussed. New and ...

This paper deals with the behaviour of acoustic cavities in the mid-high frequency range. The method proposed here is based on an energy flow method named Simplified Energy Method (MES). MES method is quite efficient in the mid-high frequency range but the directivity of the boundary sources is not well estimated. We propose a hybrid method which couples MES and the Boundary Element Method (BEM...

In this paper, we propose a serial equalizer for doubly-selective channels. We use a Basis Expansion Model (BEM) Finite Impulse Response (FIR) to model the doubly-selective channel and to design the serial equalizer. In contrast to our previous works, we decrease the modeling error of the BEM FIR by fitting the BEM FIR to the true doubly-selective channel over a time-window that is independent ...

When perfect channel state information (CSI) is available at a receiver, the maximum Doppler diversity gains from frequency flat time selective (FFTS) fading channels can be achieved with a pair of judiciously designed precoding and grouping scheme. When CSI is not available at the receiver, modelling FFTS fading channels with basis expansion models (BEM) enables channel estimation without know...

With growing concerns about global energy demand and climate change, it is important to focus on efficient utilization of electricity in commercial buildings, which contribute significantly to the overall electricity consumption. Accordingly, there has been a number of Building Energy Management (BEM) software/hardware solutions to monitor energy consumption and other measurements of individual...

Maintenance of proper neuronal excitability is vital to nervous system function and normal behavior. A subset of Drosophila mutants that exhibit altered behavior also exhibit defective motor neuron excitability, which can be monitored with electrophysiological methods. One such mutant is the P-element insertion mutant bemused (bem). The bem mutant exhibits female sterility, sluggishness, and in...

The Time-Domain Boundary Element Method (TDBEM) is a well known numerical technique that handles quite properly dynamic analyses considering infinite dimension media. However, when these analyses are also related to nonlinear behavior, very complex numerical procedures arise considering the TD-BEM, which may turn its application prohibitive. In order to avoid this drawback and model nonlinear i...

The forward problem in electroencephalography aims to simulate on the scalp the potential V of an electromagnetic field generated by a simulated source. It must fit precisely with the electromagnetic propagation in the patient head. Yet, the skull anisotropy happens to be highly anisotropic, and must then be modeled. Although boundary element methods cannot deal with anisotropy like finite elem...
