Publisher's Synopsis
Phenomena connected with the application of electromagnetic forces play an important role in technology and stimulate industrial progress in the world. The aim of the contributions in this volume is to provide a broader understanding of electromagnetic phenomena and their applications, and to provide an overview on their role at the present time and for the future. Various important aspects of electromagnetic force applications are examined ranging from piezoelectric actuators to wave propagation. The 131 papers provide a wealth of background information, as well as being a useful reference source on the implications of new technologies in the electromagnetics field.
