Electromagnetics Through the Finite Element Method ─ A Simplified Approach Using Maxwell's Equations

For undergraduate electrical engineering students, Cardoso explains the finite element method for solving dedicated electromagnetic problems based on the basic laws of electromagnetics, without using sophisticated mathematical resources. He covers the steps for the finite element method; fundamentals of electromagnetism; Maxwell's equations; finite element method in static, electric, and magnetic fields; finite element method for time-dependent electromagnetic fields; finite element method for axisymmetric geometries; finite element method for high frequency; three-dimensional finite element method; and results exploration.

Jose Roberto Cardoso was born in Marilia, SP Brazil, in 1949. He received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D degree in electrical engineering from Escola Politecnica da USP, SP, Brazil, in 1974, 1979 and 1986, respectively. Since 1999, he has been a Professor with the Energy and Electrical Automation Department, Escola Politecnica da USP. He is the author of three books, more than 70 articles, and has advised more than 40 theses/dissertations. His research interests include numerical methods for electromagnetics, theoretical electromagnetics, electrical machines, electromechanical biomedical application, electrical railway research and engineering education. He is the former president of SBMAG – Brazilian Electromagnetics Society and former Dean of Escola Politecnica da USP. He is the founder of the LMAG – Electromagnetic Applied Laboratory. Prof. Cardoso was a recipient of the 2013 Emeritus Engineer of the Year in Sao Paulo.
