Extract

We wish to propose that the word “receptance” should be used instead of “admittance” as applied to mechanical systems (see R. and M. 2,000, 1947). By this, we mean that if a generalised disturbing force Fse iωt is applied at the s th generalised co-ordinate q s of a linear oscillatory system, then the response at the r th generalised co-ordinate is given by

q s = αrs Fse iωt

where αrs is the “Cross-receptance” between q r and q s. If r = s, then αrs would be the “direct receptance” at q s.
