Abstract:
This paper presents a novel application of the moving least square differential quadrature
(MLSDQ) method to the solution of electromagnetic field problems. The MLSDQ is a
new method proposed very recently for solution of nonlinear partial differential
equations and has been successfully applied to the study of the bending behaviour of
plates. In this paper, the applicability and accuracy of the MLSDQ method to
electromagnetic problems will be examined. Two examples of electrostatic field and
eddy current problems are studied and the numerical results are in excellent agreement
with the analytical solutions.
