In this paper, an approach is proposed for extracting coupled RLC network from multi-level interconnects. The proposed approach starts with a step of partitioning the layout of the full-chip under consideration into several sublayouts, followed by steps of fracturing the partitioned layout and transforming into the three-dimensional structure. The layout is then classified into three species of...

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a computationally intensive scientific and engineering analysis tool that has diverse applications ranging from structural engineering to electromagnetic simulation. The trends in floating-point performance are moving in favor of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), hence increasing interest has grown in the scientific community to exploit this technology. ...

Introduction: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging method in which light source and detector are installed on the head; consequently, re-emission of light from human skin contains information about cerebral hemodynamic alteration. The spatial probability distribution profile of photons penetrating tissue at a source spot, scattering into the tissue, and being released at ...

In this study, a hp-version of Finite Element Method (FEM) was applied for forward modeling in image reconstruction of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). The EIT forward solver is normally based on the conventional Finite Element Method (h-FEM). In h-FEM, the polynomial order (p) of the element shape functions is constant and the element size (h) is decreasing. To have an accurate simulatio...

Self consistent solution to electromagnetic (EM)-circuit systems is of significant interest for a number applications. This has resulted in exhaustive research on means couple them. In time domain, this typically involves tight integration (or coupling) with field and non-linear circuit solvers. stark contrast coupled analysis linear/weakly circuits EM frequency domain. Here, one extracts equiv...

Time-stepping finite element method (FEM) has become a powerful tool in solving transient electromagnetic fields. The formulation can include complex issues such as time harmonics and space harmonics, nonlinear magnetic property of iron materials, external circuit and mechanical motion in the system equations. However, as the derivatives of physical quantities are usually unknown at the initial...

concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...
