Application of matrices for transfer function values calculation in mechanical systems

The paper describes the formalism and methodology that can be employed for calculation of transfer function in distributed parameter elastic mechanical systems. Generalized formalism for derivation of transfer function matrices is presented as developed in accordance with the Hilbert-Schmidt theorem. Matrix-based method to determine elastic mechanical system transfer function is offered. The solution of the problem of forced harmonic oscillations of an elastic body of a mechanical system with the presence of friction is considered. The described technique can be applied to find the transfer functions of technological equipment in order to determine the dynamic characteristics of the system.
