Simplified mobility expressions for infinite in-vacuo pipes

In this paper, closed-form expressions for the mobility of the circumferential modes in an infinite in-vacuo thin-walled pipe are derived in terms of the axial wave receptances for each mode. These expressions are valid below the ring frequency. By using simplified expressions for the wavenumbers, low-frequency approximations for the point and transfer mobilities are also derived. These new mobility expressions are validated experimentally, and are used to examine the dynamic behaviour of an in-vacuo pipe.
