Detonation modeling

Detonation modeling

Introduction    From the earliest days of the universe, massive explosions have been responsible for the chaotic separation of structured materials. During the explosion process, shockwaves (or shock shells) are formed due to gradients in pressure and heat released...
Braided cable modeling

Braided cable modeling

Introduction    The thought of complex electronics often brings up imagery of wires and cables, connecting electrical components on a circuit board to other hardware components. Conventionally, these cables are coaxial (so named due to the central conducting...
Electromagnetic coupling

Electromagnetic coupling

Introduction    A parallel application of electromagnetic (EM) modeling of aircraft is electromagnetic shielding and coupling. My recent post on calculating radar cross-section (RCS) looked at simplifying an airplane CAD model to a more simple canonical geometry, and...

Radar cross-section modeling

Introduction    Normal every day objects can be digitally represented through computer-aided design (CAD) models. Furthermore, these CAD models can be realistically sized, attributed, and imported into optical, mechanical, or radio-frequency (RF) models to help in...
The Fibonacci LFSR

The Fibonacci LFSR

Introduction    Welcome back! From our last conversation about general Linear Feedback Shift Registers, we mentioned there were two flavors of LFSR algorithms: Fibonacci and Galois. Although we ran through a basic implementation of the Fibonacci technique, we can dive...
