Distributed Transfer Function Method

The distributed transfer function method (DTFM) is an analytical method for modeling, analysis, and control of a class of distributed parameter systems that are governed by partial differential equations and that can be defi ned over multiple interconnected subregions. In this comprehensive reference, the authors show how the DTFM delivers highly accurate analytical solutions in both the frequency domain and the time domain while offering a versatile modeling technique for various problems in mechanical, civil, aerospace, electrical, chemical, biomechanical, and vehicle engineering.
