Numerical Solutions for Scattering by Rectangular Bent Plate Structures

Abstract

This report considers the numerical determination of the current induced on a bent rectangular plate illuminated by an incident plane wave. drawing heavily on techniques which are first proven effective for the two-dimensional problems of scattering of TE and TM plane waves incident on infinitely long bent strips, the authors develop a unique staggered subdomain scheme for representing the currents on a bent plate. The resulting numerical techniques are simple, efficient, and highly convergent. computed current distributions are given for two frequencies and for several angles of incidence for both a flat square plate and a bent square plate.
