Abstract

This work aims to use a numerical methodology based in the Moment Method applied with the Finite Difference Method in Time Domain to solve problems involving currents distribution in conductor media for magnetic or nonmagnetic situations and make comparisons with solutions obtained by COMSOL® commercial software and experimentally. In this proposed work it will be possible to analyze situations involving electromagnetic compatibility problems in shielding systems and crosstalk analysis in multiconductor cables. Initially will be analyzed previous situations involved the determination of skin effect in conductive plates with a known analytical solutions to validate the method.(AU)
