Helicon wave excitation and propagation in a toroidal heliac: Experiment and theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a comparison between theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of helicon wave coupling by a partial-tum shielded antenna in a toroidal heliac is presented. Despite the complicated heliac geometry, the wave dispersion, field profiles, and antenna radiation resistance are described well by a cylindrical uniform plasma theory. It also presents a simple formula relating the radiation resistance to the measured wave magnetic field per unit antenna current. Finally, the scaling of these results to the Heliac-l (H-l) [Fusion Technol. 17, 123 (1990)]; a larger heliac now operating at the Australian National University (ANU), is discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

In this paper, wave propagation approach is used to analysis the free vibration and buckling analysis of the thick rectangular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory. From wave viewpoint, vibrations can be considered as traveling waves along structures. Waves propagate in a waveguide and reflect at the boundaries. It is assumed that the plate has two opposite edge simply su...
