There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Numerical Methods for Computing the Modal Decomposition of the Magnetic Polarizability of Conducting Objects
Committee:

Abstract:
The purpose of the proposed research is to develop computational techniques capable of characterizing singularity expansion of the magnetic polarizability tensor of a wide set of conducting targets. The singularity expansion characterizes the frequency-dependent magnetic polarizability tensor that encapsulates a target's response to a wideband electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor. The expansion coefficients are valuable for target detection and classification using EMI sensors because they do not depend on the measurement system and can be scaled to represent a larger family of targets.
