We analyze, both analytically and numerically, the effectiveness
of cloaking an infinite cylinder from observations by electromagnetic
waves in three dimensions. We show that, as truncated approximations
of the ideal permittivity and permeability tensors tend towards
the singular ideal cloaking fields, so that the anisotropy ratio tends to
infinity, the D and B fields blow up near the cloaking surface. Since
the metamaterials used to implement cloaking are based on effective
medium theory, the resulting large variation in D and B will pose a
challenge to the suitability of the field averaged characterization of "
and 碌. We also consider cloaking with and without the SHS (softand-
hard surface) lining, shown in [6] to be theoretically necessary
for cloaking in the cylindrical geometry. We demonstrate numerically
that cloaking is significantly IMproved by the SHS lining, with both
the far field of the scattered wave significantly reduced and the blow
up of D and B prevented.

Computational models are commonly used in engineering design and scientific discovery activities for simulating
complex physical systems in disciplines such as fluid mechanics, structural dynamics, heat transfer, nonlinear
structural mechanics, shock physics, and many others. These simulators can be an enormous aid to engineers who
want to develop an understanding and/or predictive capability for complex behaviors typically observed in the
corresponding physical systems. Simulators often serve as virtual prototypes, where a set of predefined system
parameters, such as size or location dimensions and material properties, are adjusted to improve the performance
of a system, as defined by one or more system performance objectives. Such optimization or tuning of the
virtual prototype requires executing the simulator, evaluating performance objective(s), and adjusting the system
parameters in an iterative, automated, and directed way. System performance objectives can be formulated, for
example, to minimize weight, cost, or defects; to limit a critical temperature, stress, or vibration response; or
to maximize performance, reliability, throughput, agility, or design robustness. In addition, one would often
like to design computer experiments, run parameter studies, or perform uncertainty quantification (UQ). These
approaches reveal how system performance changes as a design or uncertain input variable changes. Sampling
methods are often used in uncertainty quantification to calculate a distribution on system performance measures,
and to understand which uncertain inputs contribute most to the variance of the outputs.
A primary goal for Dakota development is to provide engineers and other disciplinary scientists with a systematic
and rapid means to obtain IMproved or optimal designs or understand sensitivity or uncertainty using simulationbased
models. These capabilities generally lead to IMproved designs and system performance in earlier design
stages, alleviating dependence on physical prototypes and testing, shortening design cycles, and reducing product
development costs. In addition to providing this practical environment for answering system performance questions,
the Dakota toolkit provides an extensible platform for the research and rapid prototyping of customized
methods and meta-algorithms
