New developments in high-frequency diffraction by smooth surfaces

ABSTRACT

This review reports on some progress in high-frequency diffraction by smooth surfaces. Specific effects related to the special cases of the impedance boundary conditions and the effects that take place in the case of very much elongated surfaces are particularly discussed.

KEYWORDS:

• Diffration
• high frequency
• impedance
• elongated surfaces

Prof. I.V. Andronov has got First degree diploma from the faculty of Physics of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) State University in 1987 and PhD degree in Mathematical Physics in 1991. In 1993, he worked as a researcher at the Universite Bordeaux-1 and then collaborated with CEA on a number of Contracts. Many times, he was a visiting Professor at ENS-Cachan, France. He was the member of the organizing committee of URSI EMTS in 1995, won several Young Scientists awards from URSI. He is the author of two books: Generalized point models in structural mechanics, published by World Scientific in 2002, and Asymptotic and Hybrid Methods in Electromagnetics co-authored with F. Molinet and D. Bouche and published by The IET in 2005. Now Andronov is a professor at the Department of Computational Physics of St. Petersburg State University. He is a member of the organizing committee of the Annual International Conference “Days on Diffraction” and was the General Chair of PIERS 2017 in St. Petersburg.
