Electromechanical Networks and Interactions

Abstract

The network description of a physical structure requires the definition of

• network coordinates

• fundamental one-port components

• coupling two-port networks

• ideal sources and

• balance equations of coordinates.

The signal and system theory of electrical engineering provide a basis for network theory. Thus, the functional transformations between stationary sinusoidal time functions and complex amplitudes of a linear system are described at first. By means of Fourier series, the transfer of circular functions by linear systems can be extended on general periodic functions. The transition to the Fourier transform is carried out for singular bandlimited signals.
