Statistical energy analysis of similarly coupled systems

1 IntroductionStatistical Energy Analysis (SEA)I'] is a powerful method fOr dealing with dynamic prolylems of a complex structu-ral or acoustical system. The development of SEA for non--con-ser\u-tively coupled systems1'], as well as SEA of coupled systems under correlative excitationsI3],makes the method more appllcable and practical in the analysis and control of structuralnoise/vibration. In a corn-mon sense, the consertutive coup1ing and the non--consertutive oneare the only two coup…
