Abstract
The errors involved in the calculation of forces by Maxwell stress summatio n are examined and a method of improving the accuracy is presented. The met hod transforms the standard integration into a summation of forces acting o n elemental edges in the region of integration after applying a field corre ction. Three test examples, two of which have analytical solutions are avai lable, are used to show the effectiveness of the method proposed.
