Calculation of Wave Propagation for Statistical Energy Analysis Models

Sammanfattning: This thesis investigates the problems of applying Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) tomodels that include solid volumes. Three wave types (Rayleigh waves, Pressure wavesand Shear waves) are important to SEA and the mathematics behind them is explainedhere. The transmission coefficients between the wave types are needed for energytransfer in SEA analysis and different approaches to solving the properties of wavepropagation on a solid volume are discussed. For one of the propagation problems, asolution, found in Momoi [6] is discussed, while the other problem remains unsolveddue to the analytical difficulties involved.
