Introduction

The effectiveness of electromagnetic shields is evaluated in this example. Different academic cavities are considered [1][2][3].

To run the model, open main.pro with Gmsh.

Shielding effectiveness

In the time-harmonic context, the ability of a cavity to reduce a signal is quantified by the shielding effectiveness, defined by \begin{equation} 20\:\log_{10} \left|\frac{E^{\text{inc}}}{E^{\text{trans}}}\right| \quad\quad [\text{dB}] \end{equation} where $E^{\text{inc}}$ and $E^{\text{trans}}$ and the amplitudes of the incident wave and the transmitted one, respectively.
