Predictive Maturity Of Inexact And Uncertain Strongly Coupled Numerical Models, Ismail Farajpour Dec 2013

Predictive Maturity Of Inexact And Uncertain Strongly Coupled Numerical Models, Ismail Farajpour

All Dissertations

The Computer simulations are commonly used to predict the response of complex systems in many branches of engineering and science. These computer simulations involve the theoretical foundation, numerical modeling and supporting experimental data, all of which contain their associated errors. Furthermore, real-world problems are generally complex in nature, in which each phenomenon is described by the respective constituent models representing different physics and/or scales. The interactions between such constituents are typically complex in nature, such that the outputs of a particular constituent may be the inputs for one or more constituents. Thus, the natural question then arises concerning the validity …


Aperture Coupling And Penetration In Various Configurations, Jason Keen Dec 2008

Aperture Coupling And Penetration In Various Configurations, Jason Keen

All Dissertations

The problem of a slot in a perfectly conducting surface is addressed for a variety of configurations using both integral equation and transmission line techniques. The use of Bethe hole theory to model short slots is discussed and utilized where appropriate. Primary problems of discussion are a slot array, wires coupling through slots in a ground plane, and wires coupling through slots in a bent ground plane. Additionally, the use of the extended BLT formulation for incorporation of slot effects in a transmission line problem is addressed. In this manuscript, the work of Bethe is extended to include cross-aperture coupling …
