General expressions for the modal density of one- and two-dimensional periodic structures are derived in terms of the phase constants which are associated with propagating wave motion. The energy flow in such structures is then considered, and it is formally proved that the energy velocity is always

β¦ Synopsis
A potential alternative to Statistical Energy Analysis that is gaining increasing interest in recent years is the ''thermal'' energy flow approach. Its advantage is represented by the possibility of modeling the spatial distribution of energy density at high frequencies, thus yielding a more effective estimate of the system behaviour than the average constant value given by SEA. However, the thermal analogy proposed by the energy flow approach is questionable for any type of wave in any type of structure. To make the analysis more clear, exact equations for power balance in continuous structures are derived. The investigation confirms the questionability of the thermal approach and shows whether and when it is possible to determine exact equations for the energy density. Physical considerations are developed to explain some critical points. For one-dimensional systems a transmission potential is defined in analogy to the temperature in heat conduction problems.

A general matrix method is presented for the analysis of power flow in two-and three-dimensional frames using a wave scattering approach. Axial, torsional, and flexural wave modes are included. Since the method is intended to be used for mid-and high-frequency analysis, shear deformation and rotator
