Description
This study evaluates the effect of staircasing artifacts on the computation of the induced electric field in the skin of human body during whole-body exposure to a uniform 50 Hz magnetic field. Two computational models were used: one with an effective conductance method to mitigate staircasing artifacts and the other without. The results focus on the 99th to 100th percentile values of the volume- and line-averaged induced electric field in the skin. Comparisons of these percentile values show a high consistency between the two models, suggesting that the effect of staircasing artifacts is minimal. This outcome is partly attributable to the use of volume- and line-averaging methods. This research contributes to the ongoing effort to improve exposure assessment methodologies.
