Basic SEA hypotheses
SEA aims at describing the energy transfers betweenN continuous sub-systems.
It is based on two groups of hypotheses:
1 The ones introduced in the previous lectures;2 The ones necessary to extend the results of the previous
lectures to the coupling of several (N ą 2) sub-systems.
Remark: SEA describes the flow of vibrational energy between
sub-systems, hence ”energy fluxes”, though the terminology ”power
flow” is mainly used in SEA literature.

Basic SEA hypotheses
Hypotheses introduced in the previous lectures:
1 The analysis is done in bands I0 “ rω0 ´∆ω2 , ω0 `
∆ω2 s.
2 The loads are:
wideband noises with bandwidth ∆ω;uncorrelated between sub-systems.
3 Each sub-system is weakly dissipative and characterizedby its own vibrational modes. Consequently:
∆ω " πζαωα, where 0 ă ζα ! 1;an unbounded domain cannot be an SEA sub-system.
4 The coupling is conservative: mass, stiffness, andgyroscopic couplings.
5 The vibrational modes of which eigenfrequencies lie inthe frequency band I0 are the only ones whichcontribute to the mechanical energy of each sub-systemin that band.

Additional hypotheses:6 Each sub-system r P t1, 2, . . .N u has a large numberNr of vibrational modes in the band I0.
Remark #1: Therefore the method is adapted to thehigh-frequency range of vibrations.Remark #2: Practically a mode count Nr Á 6, 7 isenough.
7 The average modal energies of each sub-system are close.8 Each vibrational mode of each sub-system has roughly
the same contribution to the power flows with the othersub-systems.
Remark #3: This hypothesis allows to extend thefundamental relationship Π129E1 ´ E2 for coupledoscillators to several coupled sub-systems.Remark #4: The last two hypotheses are reasonablefor high-frequency bands.

SEA sub-systemsOverview
An SEA sub-system is a group of eigenmodes havingsimilar characteristics: energies (i.e. H7), couplingstrength with the other groups (i.e. H8).
The parameters describing the groups are:
the modal density,the loss factor,the coupling loss factor,and the input power,
averaged over the frequency band of analysis.
The proportionality relationship between the powerflows and the difference of the mechanical energies isrigorously wrong for more than two dofs; it holdsapproximatively for weak coupling.

In case of weak coupling, the mechanical energy of asub-system in the actual configuration is close to itsmechanical energy in the decoupled, or ”blocked”configuration.
Likewise, the eigenfrequencies of a sub-system in the”blocked” and actual configurations are close.

SEA sub-systemsGroups of modes
Sub-systems should be identified in order to satisfy theSEA hypotheses, and more particularly:
The modes in a sub-system should have similar dynamiccharacteristics;Those sub-systems should be considered as groups ofweakly coupled modes.
A group of modes is carried on by a physicalsub-system, which in turn can support different groups.
They are coupled as soon as they are constrained tohave the same motion at a given point, line, or surfaceof the overall physical system.

Loss factorLoss factor of an elastic system
The loss factor ηs of an elastic structure is obtained byfitting some experimental data with the equivalentresult of a mathematical model, hence it has notheoretical ground. The fitting depends in addition onthe frequency/frequency band of analysis I0.
Reverberation time: the time of persistence of sound orvibration after a sound or vibration is produced. It istypically measured as the time TR it takes for a signal(vibrational energy) to drop by 60 dB.
Practically, one measures the mechanical energy of thefree response to some impulse loads:

Diffuse field approximation: the vibrational fieldwithin the rth sub-system is diffuse if it is thesuperposition of uncorrelated wave trains traveling inall directions, the latter being uniformly random.
The average mechanical energy EtEmr,tu is in additionuniformly distributed over the frequency band ofanalysis.

Method #1: Power injection method (PIM). Theinput power Πi is imposed to each sub-systemsuccessively, and the mechanical energies are measuredfor all sub-systems. Then one solves for rηs:
ω0rηsEr “ Πir ,
where Πir “ p0, . . . , 0,Πi, 0, ...0qT is the vector of input
powers when only the rth sub-system is loaded, and Er
is the vector of mechanical energies.
Constraints on rηs: symmetry, negative off-diagonalterms.
However rηs is ill-conditioned.
