Vibratory vs. Electromagnetic Waves as Used in an Analysis of a Gas Turbine Engine.
Abstract
The kinematics and energy balances of wave propagation occurring in a gas turbine engine are investigated to show a similarity of mathematical relationship between sonic and electromagnetic waves. Transverse electric and magnetic waves are shown to be similar in nature to viscoelastic SH waves with respect to a plane of symmetry in a monoclinic medium. The Maxwell constitutive model is related to the Maxwell equations in electromagnetics. It was confirmed that a direct similarity exists with particle velocity and magnetic field, electric field with stresses, permittivity and compliance as well as conductivity with viscosity and permeability with material density.
