Degenerated Hexahedral Whitney Elements for Electromagnetic Fields Computation in Multi-Layer Anisotropic Thin Regions

In this paper, the use of a degenerated hexahedral Whitney elements method in the modeling of multi-layer anisotropic regions is presented. The elements degenerated from hexahedral elements are used to model laminated composites at the elementary-ply scale considering the circulation of eddy-currents along the thickness of the material. Eddy-current problem is solved using the A - Φ formulation.
