Receptances in Mechanical Systems*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Extract
We wish to propose that the word “receptance” should be used instead of “admittance” as applied to mechanical systems (see R. and M. 2,000, 1947). By this, we mean that if a generalised disturbing force Fseiωt is applied at the sth generalised co-ordinate qs of a linear oscillatory system, then the response at the rth generalised co-ordinate is given by
qs = αrsFseiωt
where αrs is the “Cross-receptance” between qr and qs. If r = s, then αrs would be the “direct receptance” at qs.
