The axisymmetrical steady-state response of an internally damped, annular double-plate system interconnected by several springs uniformly distributed along concentric circles to a sinusoidally varying force is determined by the transfer matrix technique. Once the transfer matrix of an annular plate has been determined analytically, the response of the system is obtained by the product of the transfer matrices of each plate and the point matrices at each connecting circle. By the application of the method, the driving-point impedance, transfer impedance, and force transmissibility are calculated numerically for a free-clamped system and a simply supported system.

State Response

The dynamic response of a vehicle, with a conventional suspension system, traversing a multispan simply supported guideway system is studied parametrically. The steady state response of the system and conditions for dynamic instabilities are presented for the case where the ratio of vehicle length/span length is small. Using vehicle heave acceleration and maximum guideway deflection as performance criteria, it is shown that the interactive inertial effect is significant, even at relatively low traversing speeds.

Auditory Steady State Response

Two studies were aimed at developing the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) for universal newborn hearing screening. First, neonates who had passed auditory brainstem response, transient evoked otoacoustic emission, and distortion-product otoacoustic emission tests were also tested with ASSRs using modulated tones that varied in frequency and level. Pass rates were highest (> 90%) for amplitude-modulated tones presented at levels ≥ 69 dB SPL. The effect of modulation frequency on ASSR for 500- and 2000-Hz tones was evaluated in full-term and premature infants in the second study. Full-term infants had higher pass rates for 2000-Hz tones amplitude modulated at 74 to 106 Hz compared with pass rates for a 500-Hz tone modulated at 58 to 90 Hz. Premature infants had lower pass rates than full-term infants for both carrier frequencies. Systematic investigation of ASSR threshold and the effect of modulation frequency in neonates is needed to adapt the technique for screening.
