Abstract

A root-mean-square (rms) measure of effect of nonlinear loading on the transient response of thin wires is proposed. The transient behavior of nonlinearly loaded wires is analyzed directly in the time domain. The problem is formulated via the space-time Hallen integral equation. The equation is solved by the space-time Galerkin Bubnov boundary element procedure. Numerical results for the transient response of a thin wire computed by a time domain code based on this method are compared with results obtained from a frequency domain code. Some illustrative numerical results for the spatial distribution of the rms values of time varying currents are also presented.
