Journal ArticleDOI
Finite element prediction of wave motion in structural waveguides.
TL;DR: A method is presented by which the wavenumbers for a one-dimensional waveguide can be predicted from a finite element (FE) model, which involves postprocessing a conventional, but low order, FE model, the mass and stiffness matrices of which are typically found using a conventional FE package.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential benefits of a non-linear stiffness in an energy harvesting device
TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of using a non-linear stiffness in an energy harvesting device comprising a mass-spring-damper system are investigated based on the principle of conservation of energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling wave propagation in two-dimensional structures using finite element analysis
Brian R. Mace,Elisabetta Manconi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wave/finite element (WFE) method is described by which the dispersion relations for a two-dimensional structural component can be predicted from a finite element (FE) model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite element analysis of the vibrations of waveguides and periodic structures
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of wave and finite element (FE) approaches is presented to calculate the forced response of a structural component using a set of basis functions for the analysis of the structure as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave reflection and transmission in beams
TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational behavior of beam systems can be expressed in terms of waves of both propagating and near field types, and the effects of applied excitations are also considered.
