Diakoptic Approach to the Electrostatic Man-Animal Scaling Problem

Abstract

The diakoptic theory, applied to scaling relations for ELF electric-field exposure simulations with test animals, is proposed. The low body-partitioning degree, together with the spheroidal representation of the large-dimensioned blocks composing the subjects, led us to generalize, and remarkably simplify, the extrapolation technique. Accordingly, the reduction of the problem complexity in investigating the theoretical dosimetry could reasonably promote assessment of time-averaged ratios correlated with body animations.
