TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation characteristics of longitudinal wave are investigated when the signals pass through a multi-step rod with variable cross-section, and several numerical examples for a step-rod with three segments are given by the present theoretical predictions and the finite element analysis, from which the performance of the three wave theories are compared with each other.
Abstract: Vibration signals collected after propagation are usually different from the real ones of some vibration source due to the corresponding stop band of a particular propagation media. Here, the propagation characteristics of longitudinal wave are investigated when the signals pass through a multi-step rod with variable cross-section. Firstly, the transfer matrices for a single rod are derived based on the three wave theories, i.e. the elementary wave theory, the Love wave theory and the Mindlin-Herrmann wave theory, respectively. Next, the matching conditions for any two adjacent segments are analyzed, from which the transfer matrix for any step-rod with two or more segments are presented. Moreover, possible elastic constraint is also taken into consideration. Finally, several numerical examples for a step-rod with three segments are given by the present theoretical predictions and the finite element analysis, from which the performance of the three wave theories are compared with each other. The results sh...

TL;DR: Striking a balance between theory and applications, Linear System Theory and Design, 3/e, is ideal for use in advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate courses in linear systems and multivariable system design in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering departments.
Abstract: From the Publisher: An extensive revision of the author's highly successful text, this third edition of Linear System Theory and Design has been made more accessible to students from all related backgrounds. After introducing the fundamental properties of linear systems, the text discusses design using state equations and transfer functions. The two main objectives of the text are to: use simple and efficient methods to develop results and design procedures; enable students to employ the results to carry out design. Striking a balance between theory and applications, Linear System Theory and Design, 3/e, is ideal for use in advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate courses in linear systems and multivariable system design in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering departments. It assumes a working knowledge of linear algebra and the Laplace transform and an elementary knowledge of differential equations.
