โœฆ Synopsis

A method for evaluating the energy flows in a general network of beams, based on receptance theory, is presented. The behaviour of the global structure is predicted from the Green functions of the individual uncoupled beams, evaluated as summations over their mode shapes. This permits analysis of structures having localized properties or those where the modal information is derived numerically (e.g., by the use of finite element analysis). The method is implemented as a computer program and aspects of numerical problems regarding Green function convergence and the extraction of higher modes are discussed. In the second half of the paper, a cantilever structure of 16 beams with eight joints is subjected to point harmonic forcing at a joint. The velocity responses at a joint remote from the point of forcing are compared against those from a finite element model and good agreement is obtained. The time and frequency averaged energy levels of all the beams in the structure are then studied under conditions of localized damping on different regions of the structure, and also for changes in geometry.

A method for studying the vibrational energy flows through structures based on receptance theory is presented. The structures are considered to be made up of subsystems, which may, in turn, be substructures modelled by using finite element analysis (FEA), each having been separately analyzed for its

Both modal expansion and travelling wave methods are commonly used for predicting the response and vibrational energy flow in structures. They describe the same structural wave motion problem from different viewpoints. In this paper, energy flows carried by the torsional and flexural waves in beam s

The crossed-beam method was used to investigate the charge-transfer reaction of Xe+ ('P,,,) with Xe('S,,). The symmetrically resonant channel producing Xe+ (\*P3,\*) as well as the endoergic tine-structure transition (producing Xe+ (2P1,2) ) with AJ= -1 were detected. The resonant charge-transfer re

The crossed-beam method was used to investigate the charge-transfer reaction of IW ( 2P,,2) with Kr( 'S,), using a nearly pure Kr+ ( \*Pyz ) ion beam. The resonant charge-transfer reaction is well described by a standard theoretical rectilinear-trajectory model. The endoergic fine-structure transiti
