This paper is concerned with the prediction of vibrations at high frequencies in built-up structures. In the high-frequency range, the dynamical behaviour of structures is driven by energy transfer rather than modal aspects. The description of systems in terms of energy is thus well-suited and leads

β¦ Synopsis
High frequency structural and acoustic problems require prohibitive computational efforts. The tendency, nowadays, is to find a solution in statistical terms (SEA) through an average of the field variables on the space domain. A limitation of SEA is the loss of any local information. In contrast with SEA, a power flow method [1] can describe a trend of the energy density along the structure, thus improving the quality of the solution. However, in dealing with flexural waves, the power flow neglects the near field contribution: the related solution can sometimes differ considerably from the expected trend. In this paper a field trend is obtained in a totally different manner. An envelope energy is used that describes well the exact solution: specifically, only the decaying fields, obtained from the projection on the real axis of the damped bending wavenumbers are accounted for, while the propagating components are omitted. Simulated results are presented and compared with exact and approximate solutions.

We have developed an implicit solvent effective potential (AGBNP) that is suitable for molecular dynamics simulations and high-resolution modeling. It is based on a novel implementation of the pairwise descreening Generalized Born model for the electrostatic component and a new nonpolar hydration fr
An exact and direct modelling technique is presented in this paper for modelling beam structures. This technique is based on the combination of transfer and dynamic stiffness matrices. In this technique, the whole structure is first divided into substructures based on the required master degrees-of-
A unifying perspective of non-linear structural dynamic systems as linear in the open loop with non-linear feedback in the closed loop has recently been revisited by the authors. The authors have previously used feedback to derive a new formulation of frequency response function matrices of non-line
