Journal Article
Meng, X., Sewel, P., Phang, S., Vukovic, A., & Benson, T. (2015). Modeling curved carbon fiber composite (CFC) structures in the transmission-line modeling (TLM) method. IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 57(3), 384-390. doi:10.1109/TEMC.2015.2400055

A new embedded model for curved thin panels is developed in the transmission line modeling (TLM) method. In this model, curved panels are first linearized and then embedded between adjacent 2-D TLM nodes allowing for arbitrary positioning between adj...
