This computational study used finite element modeling to estimate the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS for two electrode montages targeting the left DLPFC. It systematically varied isotropic tissue conductivity profiles to assess sensitivity of predicted E-field magnitude and components in the…

This engineering-focused study examined how inter-electrode distance in transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) affects electric field distribution in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord. Peak E-field magnitudes occurred in the lumbo-sacral region for all configurations. Larger electrode separations…

This engineering study assesses the risk of failure of composite high-voltage insulators in desert environments where sand accumulation and moisture can create conductive layers and leakage currents. Using realistic Sinai sand grain size and salinity data and an ABB composite insulator as a case study, the authors…

This paper reports a MAXWELL 3D simulation study of electric field distribution in a tissue/tumor model relevant to electrical-pulse-mediated drug delivery. The authors report lower electric field strength in tumor tissue compared with normal cells. They interpret this as potentially increasing tumor susceptibility…

Jan 1, 2008
This engineering study reports spectroscopic determination of net electric field distribution in a dielectric barrier surface glow discharge in low-pressure air. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to infer electric field distribution from the intensity ratio of nitrogen spectral lines at 391.4 nm and 337.1 nm.…
