Book description
A multifaceted approach to understanding, calculating, and managing
electromagnetic discontinuities
Presenting new, innovative approaches alongside basic results, this
text helps readers better understand, calculate, and manage the
discontinuities that occur within the electromagnetic field. Among the
electromagnetic discontinuities explored in this volume are:
-
Bounded jump discontinuities at the interfaces between two
media or on the material sheets that model very thin layers
-
Unbounded values at the edges of wedge-type structures
-
Unbounded values at the tips of conical structures
The text examines all the key issues related to the bodies that carry
the interfaces, edges, or tips, whether these bodies are at rest or in
motion with respect to an observer. In addition to its clear
explanations, the text offers plenty of step-by-step examples to
clarify complex theory and calculations. Moreover, readers are
encouraged to fine-tune their skills and knowledge by solving the
text's problem sets.
Three fundamental, classical theories serve as the foundation for
this text: distributions, confluence, and the special theory of
relativity. The text sets forth the fundamentals of all three of these
theories for readers who are not fully familiar with them. Moreover,
the author demonstrates how to solve electromagnetic discontinuity
problems by seamlessly combining all three theories into a single approach.
With this text as their guide, readers can apply a unique philosophy
and approach to the investigation and development of structures that
have the potential to enhance the capabilities of electronics,
antennas, microwaves, acoustics, medicine, and many more application
areas.
