The method of matched eigenfunction expansions is applied in this paper to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients of a pair of coaxial cylinders, each of which can have independent movement. The geometry idealizes a device for extracting ocean wave energy in the heave mode. The effects of geometric variations and the interaction between cylinders on the hydrodynamic properties are discussed. Analytical expressions for the low-frequency behavior of the hydrodynamic coefficients are also derived. The wave-exciting force on the bottom surface of either one of the cylinders is derived using the radiation solutions, with a generalized form of the Haskind relation developed for this geometry. The presented results are immediately applicable to examine free motion of coaxial cylinders in a wave field.

ABSTRACTAn investigation of the frequency behavior of polycrystalline ferrites is presented. It is shown that the low frequency dispersion (f < 10 MHz) of permeability is associated with the bulging of pinned domain walls, and has a mixed resonance-relaxation character, closer to the latter. It is also shown that there is a linear relationship between the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, K1, and the relaxation frequency. The slope of this correlation depends on the grain size. Such a relationship could allow the determination of this basic parameter from polycrystalline samples.

Mechanical properties of the canine femoral artery in vivo are measured as a function of frequency (0.0025--0.1 Hz) and as a function of mean pressure (10--16 kPa). Sinusoidal pressure variations are generated with a servo-controlled occluder system. The absolute value of the Young's modulus increases with mean pressure (E = 0.63 X 10(5) exp(0.211P)-N.m-2) at 0.05 Hz; where P is pressure. At heart rate frequencies (average value 2.22 Hz) this relation is: E = 1.25 X 10(5) exp(0.175P) N.m-2. The phase angle of the Young's modulus is independent of pressure at both frequencies. At 0.05 Hz we found: phi = 0.189 - 0.00788 P radians and at 2.22 Hz: phi = 0.0723 + 0.000428 P. The slope of both lines is not significantly different from zero slope (alpha = 0.05). Frequency dependence is studied at a constant pressure level (Pr, average value 14.3 kPa) just below the animals' mean pressure levels (average value 15.9 kPa). The frequency behavior of the elastic modulus is fitted with a function with two poles and two zeros (poles at 0.003 and 0.038 Hz; zeros at 0.0022 and 0.03 Hz).
