The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

The effect of the heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, phase composition, and electromagnetic properties of the GF/SiBCN composite was investigated. The SiBCN ceramics maintained an amorphous structure in the composite below 1400℃ above which the crystallinity of the free carbon phase gradually increased.While the Si3N4 and B4C phases started to crystallize at 1500℃ and their crystallinity increased with temperature, SiC was observed at 1700℃. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of GF/SiBCN increased with the heat treatment temperature.展开更多

This approach is considered to be a promising way to obtain a light-weight, ultrathin and transparent shielding medium, which not only transmits visible light but also inhibits the transmission of microwaves, despite the fact that the total thickness of the Ag film is much larger than the skin depth in the visible range and less than that in the microwave region. Theoretical results suggest that a high dielectric/metal thickness ratio can enhance the broadband and improve the transmittance in the optical range. Accordingly, the central wavelength was found to be red-shifted with increasing dielectric/metal thickness ratio. A physical mechanism behind the controlling transmission of visible light is also proposed. Meanwhile, the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the prepared structures was found to exceed 40 dB in the range from 0.1 GHz to 18 GHz, even reaching up to 70 dB at 0.1 GHz, which is far higher than that of a single ITO film of the same thickness.展开更多

Dielectric permittivity, electromagnetic interference （EMI） shielding and absorption properties of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics were studied as a function of Ni content at 8.2-12.4 GHz （X-band）. When Ni nanoparticles were added into phenolic resin, the electric conductivity of the prepared composite ceramics decreased with increasing Ni content, which was attributed to the decrease of graphitization degree of PyC. The decrease in electric conductivity led to the decrease in both permittivity and EMI shielding effectiveness. Since too high permittivity is harmful to the impendence match and results in the strong reflection, the electromagnetic wave absorption property of Si3N4-PyC composite ceramics increases with increasing Ni content. When the content of Ni nanoparticles added into phenolic resin was 2 wt%, the composite ceramics possessed the lowest electric conductivity and displayed the most excellent absorption property with a minimum reflection loss as low as -28.9 dB.展开更多
