Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Modeling for Electrical and Biological Systems Using MATLAB

Provides a detailed and systematic description of the Methodof Moments (Boundary Element Method) for electromagnetic modelingat low frequencies and includes hands-on, application-basedMATLAB(R) modules with user-friendly and intuitiveGUI and a highly visualized interactive output. Includes a full-body computational human phantom with over120 triangular surface meshes extracted from the Visible HumanProject(R) Female dataset of the National library ofMedicine and fully compatible with MATLAB and major commercialFEM/BEM electromagnetic software simulators. This book covers the basic concepts of computationallow-frequency electromagnetics in an application-based format andhones the knowledge of these concepts withhands-on MATLAB(R) modules. The book isdivided into five parts. Part 1 discusses low-frequencyelectromagnetics, basic theory of triangular surface meshgeneration, and computational human phantoms. Part 2 coverselectrostatics of conductors and dielectrics, and direct currentflow. Linear magnetostatics is analyzed in Part 3. Part 4 examinestheory and applications of eddy currents. Finally, Part 5 evaluatesnonlinear electrostatics. Application examples included in thisbook cover all major subjects of low-frequency electromagnetictheory. In addition, this book includes complete or summarizedanalytical solutions to a large number of quasi-staticelectromagnetic problems. Each Chapter concludes with a summary ofthe corresponding MATLAB(R) modules. * Combines fundamental electromagnetic theory andapplication-oriented computation algorithms in the form of standalone MATLAB(R) modules * Makes use of the three-dimensional Method of Moments (MoM) forstatic and quasistatic electromagnetic problems * Contains a detailed full-body computational human phantom fromthe Visible Human Project(R) Female, embedded implantmodels, and a collection of homogeneous human shells Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Modeling for Electrical andBiological Systems Using MATLAB (R) is aresource for electrical and biomedical engineering studentsand practicing researchers, engineers, and medical doctors workingon low-frequency modeling and bioelectromagnetic applications.
