When you're trying to communicate or understand ideas, words don't always do the trick. Sometimes the more efficient approach is to do a simple sketch of that concept—for example, diagramming a ...

Abstract: Tangential vector finite elements (TVFEs) overcome most of the shortcomings of node-based finite elements for electromagnetic simulations. Hierarchical TVFEs are of considerable practical ...

Abstract: An edge-based finite element formulation with vector absorbing boundary conditions is presented for scattering by composite structures having boundaries satisfying impedance and/or ...
