High Fidelity Interface Modeling to Enable Enhanced Electromagnetics ModSim Capabilities

Jones, Adam J.; Kuether, Robert J.

Years of work by 1350 and others has shown that the phenomenology behind EM penetration of joints and seams is a major driver in the shielding effectiveness of ND systems. Via analysis of a canonical cylindrical geometry and comparison against experimental data, we will provide evidence supporting the theory that proper treatment of contact phenomenology including joint deformation, asperity-induced contact impedance, and appropriate treatment of machining tolerance values is required to match electromagnetics modeling and simulation results to experimental data.
