Linear Systems and Configuration-Space Decoupling Techniques

The equation of motion of linear systems is one of the most commonly used equations in science and engineering. It has long been recognized that coordinate coupling in linear systems is a considerable barrier to analysis and design. In this context, it is

Preface

Linear dynamical systems are characterized by a second-order ordinary differential equation with three real coefficient matrices. The classical decoupling problem in vibrations amounts to converting such systems into a form whose coefficients are diagonal. Coordinate decoupling plays a central role not only in vibrations but also in such diverse areas as numerical linear algebra, quantum mechanics, and mathematical economics. In the past 10 years, the method of modal analysis was generalized to decouple practically all linear systems, including those with nonsymmetric coefficient matrices. The extension, called phase synchronization, is based upon compensations for time drifts caused by viscous damping and external excitation. The resulting invertible decoupling transformation is real, non-linear, and time varying. While phase synchronization could be immensely useful, information on this topic is scattered in various journal articles, requiring the interested readers to resort to multiple references to fully understand the methodology. To make things more complicated, diff
