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

Provides a detailed and systematic description of the Method of Moments (Boundary Element Method) for electromagnetic modeling at low frequencies and includes hands–on, application–based MATLAB® modules with user–friendly and intuitive GUI and a highly visualized interactive output. Includes a full–body computational human phantom with over 120 triangular surface meshes extracted from the Visible Human Project® Female dataset of the National library of Medicine and fully compatible with MATLAB® and major commercial FEM/BEM electromagnetic software simulators. This book covers the basic concepts of computational low–frequency electromagnetics in an application–based format and hones the knowledge of these concepts with hands–on MATLAB® modules. The book is divided into five parts. Part 1 discusses low–frequency electromagnetics, basic theory of triangular surface mesh generation, and computational human phantoms. Part 2 covers electrostatics of conductors and dielectrics, and direct current flow. Linear magnetostatics is analyzed in Part 3. Part 4 examines theory and applications of eddy currents. Finally, Part 5 evaluates nonlinear electrostatics. Application examples included in this book cover all major subjects of low–frequency electromagnetic theory. In addition, this book includes complete or summarized analytical solutions to a large number of quasi–static electromagnetic problems. Each Chapter concludes with a summary of the corresponding MATLAB® modules. Combines fundamental electromagnetic theory and application–oriented computation algorithms in the form of stand alone MATLAB® modules Makes use of the three–dimensional Method of Moments (MoM) for static and quasistatic electromagnetic problems Contains a detailed full–body computational human phantom from the Visible Human Project® Female, embedded implant models, and a collection of homogeneous human shells Low–Frequency Electromagnetic Modeling for Electrical and Biological Systems Using MATLAB® is a resource for electrical and biomedical engineering students and practicing researchers, engineers, and medical doctors working on low–frequency modeling and bioelectromagnetic applications.
