A Calculation of Elastic Flexural Vibrations of Whisker Crystals Irradiated with Nanosecond Electron Beams

Аннотация

Within the framework of the linear thermal elasticity theory a dynamic thermoelastic bending of a whisker crystal is considered under conditions of its irradiation with a high-current electron beam of nanosecond duration. It is shown that the characteristic time of leveling the temperature of superthin pin-type rod nonuniformely heated over its thickness is comparable with the period of the fundamental wave of flexural vibrations. This gives rise to a considerable decrease in the bending amplitude, which is concurrent with the heat conduction processes.
