An exact analysis is presented of the vibration response of an infinite beam on periodic supports, subjected to a transverse harmonic point force. The supports must all be the same and can be simply supported or be generally linear with elastic, inertial and dissipative properties. The total response is found as the sum of the flexural wave fields generated by the applied force and the infinite number of support reaction forces and moments. The concept of phased arrays of forces and moments is used to sum the support-generated wave fields. This utilizes the propagation constants of free-wave motion in the periodic beam. Equations for either four, six or eight of the unknown complex reactions (depending on the nature of the supports) are set up and solved numerically. This finite number is sufficient to permit the calculation of the beam displacement at any point and of all the other reactions. Some computed values of the beam direct receptance are presented to demonstrate its variation with forcing frequency, the effect of the location of the excitation force and the effect of changing the elastic properties of the supports.

THE HARMONIC RESPONSE OF UNIFORM BEAMS ON MULTIPLE LINEAR SUPPORTS - A FLEXURAL WAVE ANALYSIS MEAD, DJ; Yaman, Yavuz (Elsevier BV, 1990-09-22) A wave approach is developed for the exact analysis of the harmonic response of uniform finite beams on multiple supports. The beam may be excited by single or multi-point harmonic forces or moments; its supports may have general linear characteristics which may include displacement-rotation coupling. Use is made of the harmonic response function for an infinite beam subjected to a single-point harmonic force or moment. The unknowns of the finite beam problem are the support reaction forces/moments and the ...
The numerical solution on coupling coefficients of corrugated waveguides / Menteş, Pınar; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Physics (2003) The problem of propagation and interaction of optical radiation in dielectric waveguides is cast in the coupled-mode formalism. This approach is useful for treating problems involving energy exchange between modes. In this study, the principal features of coupled modetheory are reviewed. A number of guided-wave interactions encountered in guided-wave optics are analyzed using coupled-mode theory. Explicit expressions for the coupling coefficient which play a central role in this theory, are given. Also, an ...
The evolution of the magnetic moment in a corrugated magnetic field Demokan, O; Mirnov, VV (1997-09-01) In the first part, the equations of motion in a weakly corrugated, periodic magnetic field are linearized and solved by using paraxial approximation, to describe the model and the associated resonance condition. In the second part, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic moment of resonant particles, in connection with their axial displacement is investigated analytically by using the multiple scale method. It is seen that the linear evolution is converted into a slow and periodic oscillation around the unp...
The gravitational effect on induced charge density for an obliquely rotating neutron start De Paolis, F; Qadir, A; Tarman, Işık Hakan (1999-11-01) The effect on the induced charge density of the gravitational field of a rotating neutron star with its magnetic axis inclined with respect to the rotational axis is investigated. While gravitation increases the charge density the obliquity reduces it.
The electronic band structure of III (in, al, ga)-v (n, as, sb) compounds and ternary alloys Mohammad, Rezek Mahmoud Salim; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Department of Physics (2005) In this work, the electronic band structure of III (In, Al, Ga) - V (N, As, Sb) compounds and their ternary alloys have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and empirical tight binding (ETB) calculations, respectively. The present DFT-GGA calculations have shown direct band gap structures in zinc-blende phase for InN, InAs, InSb, GaN, and GaAs. However, indirect band gap structures have been obtained for cubic AlN, AlSb and AlAs com- pounds; he...
