Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1997). Anovel parallel processing synchronization method for observing electric fields in and around PCBs. International Journal of Electronics, 82(1), 61-76. https://doi.org/10.1080/002072197136273

The authors have taken the 3D FDTD approach to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within and around printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses...

Machine independent algorithm for concurrent finite-element problems (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1996, April). Machine independent algorithm for concurrent finite-element problems. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics (CEM 96)

The finite-element method, initially developed for mechanical and civil engineering applications, is now applied to electromagnetics. This paper describes how parallel processing applies to finite-element simulations. The methods discussed are the pa...
