Abstract:
This thesis examines the fundamental equations of the branch of linear oscillatory dynamics known as Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). The investigation described is limited to the study of two, point coupled multi-modal sub-systems which form the basis for most of the accepted theory in this field. Particular attention is paid to the development of exact classical solutions against which simplified approaches can be compared. These comparisons reveal deficiencies in the usual formulations of SEA in three areas, viz., for heavy damping, strong coupling between sub-systems and for systems with
