Description :The objective is the development of a new, computationally efficient numerical
method for the modeling of electromagnetic compatibility problems associated with
electromagnetic interactions in complex structures such as enclosures with internal boards and
wiring. This will allow analyzing the effect of field enhancement by resonance as a potential
health hazard due to electromagnetic radiation. The ultimate outcome of the project will be the
creation of the computer tool with user-friendly pre- and post-processing capability for the
modeling of system-level electromagnetic interference effects, with applications to automotive
electronics, interference compatibility assessment of computer and communication devices, etc.
Critical to the realization of such a tool is for the simulation engine to be computationally
efficient. The Method of Auxiliary Sources (MAS) is proposed as the one that will deliver both
the computational efficiency and the modeling versatility needed for the successful realization of
such a computer tool. The tool will be compared against measurements and existing commercial
and self-written programs to verify that the Method of Auxiliary sources shows superior
calculation speed at similar accuracy. The project continues the long and successful cooperation
(research and student exchange) between Prof. Zaridze at the Tbilisi State University and Prof.
Pommerenke at the University Missouri Rolla.
