Abstract
The diffraction studies and the integral equation studies both continue to focus on the study of the interaction of electromagnetic energy with penetrable media. The goal of these studies parallels that of the highly successful and highly visible UTD research at OSU of past decades for the case of conducting bodies. That is to be able to reduce these complex situations to simplistic, accurate and useful forms. This was achieved in the case of the conducting surfaces with the evolution of the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) and Moment Method techniques (MM). This presents a very serious task in that the fundamental scattering/radiation properties of many significant geometries involving penetrable media have not been analyzed at this time by any mathematical approach regardless of the degree of sophistication. Nevertheless, very substantial progress has been made in such areas as impedance discontinuities, creeping waves on curved surfaces, edge waves and surface waves.
