Singularity spectra

The effective permittivity of a Staggered Array of Square Cylinders. The area fraction of squares goes up to almost 0.5. The permittivity ratio (squares/background) ranges from -6 to 1 with limits taken from the upper half of the imaginary plane:

The effective permittivity of a Square Array of Square Cylinders. The area fraction of squares ranges from 0 to 0.99. The permittivity ratio (squares/background) ranges from -6 to 1 with limits taken from the upper half of the imaginary plane:

Laplace's equation

Laplace's equation is solved in real time on a polygonal domain. Piecewise constant Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed. The numerical techniques used are described in A robust and accurate solver of Laplace's equation with general boundary conditions on general domains in the plane and in references therein.

Crack propagation
