چکیده
P. DALY, B.Sc, Ph.D.f Summary: A finite-element method based on a function minimization technique is developed for analysing homogeneous waveguide problems. The continuous eigen-value operator as in the Ritz finite-difference method is replaced by a matrix operator. The resulting equations are, however, matrix eigen-value equations. Relevant properties of the matrices are discussed. It is demonstrated that the method has advantages in dealing with awkward boundaries and singularities. A feature of the method is that the error in the eigen-value is a monotonically decreasing function of successive sub-divisions of the cross-section. Minimization of a variational expression assures rapid convergence to the correct eigen-value. Three waveguides are analysed in some detail.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a low frequency analysis of vibration in a built-up structure, the eigen frequencies and the corresponding eigenmodes help the understanding of how and why the structure behaves as it does. These eigen solutions are also useful in calculations of forced response by modal super-position procedures. However, as frequency increases there are more and more modes with increasi...
