PREFACE
It has been more than 20 years since the publication of the first edition and nearly 12 years since the publication of the second edition of this book. The finite element method has experienced phenomenal growth in the field of computational electromagnetics during these periods. While the early effort was focused on developing the method to model electromagnetic fields correctly and solve electromagnetic problems accurately, the recent effort has been focused more on enhancing the power and expanding the capability of the method to deal with large-scale, complex, and real-life engineering electromagnetic problems through the development of new, more efficient algorithms and effective utilization of new computer technologies. The development of the time-domain finite element method, including the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method, and a variety of domain decomposition methods during the past decade, together with a variety of new applications, serves as a great testimonial to the success of the recent effort. The purpose of this third edition is to reflect these new developments and applications.
The major changes in the third edition include a significant revision of Chapter 12 on the time-domain finite element method, the addition of two new chapters on the finite element analysis of periodic structures (Chapter 13) and on the domain decomposition methods for finite element analysis of large-scale electromagnetic problems (Chapter 14), the addition of two new ...
