Analysis and Simulation of Shielding Effectiveness of a Fiber Reinforced Cylindrical Shell

The purpose of the paper is to analyze and simulate the shielding effectiveness (SE) performance of a fiber reinforced cylindrical shell. A matrix model is presented to evaluate the transmitted electromagnetic fields on the axis of cylindrical shell. SE performance of the cylindrical shell is calculated for various parameters such as radius of cylinder, shell thickness and shell conductivity. Also, a 3D model of the cylindrical shell is constructed via Computer Software Technology (CST) program to carry out the analytical results. The analytical calculations and simulations are performed for TM mode excitation. A good agreement is obtained by the comparison of analytical results and CST simulations.
