Abstract
With the application of the rigorous method of Transmission-Line Modeling (TLM), this paper investigates induced currents and their effects on the human bodies with prostheses, due to lightning. The propagation of electromagnetic fields and subsequent scattering in the three-dimensional modeled space was on metallic prostheses enveloped body tissue.
