Analysis of aircraft shieldings for lightning indirect effects by a novel S-FDTD

This paper presents an extension of the stochastic FDTD method to predict the variance of fields coupled through multilayered lossy thin panels. The subgridding boundary condition subcell model is employed in an unconditional Crank-Nicolson formulation. A discussion on the effect of the influence of material parameters is done in the context of the assessment of the shielding effectiveness of typical aircraft fuselages.
