The feasibility of using the transfer matrix method (TMM) to compute the natural vibration characteristics of a flexible rocket/satellite launch vehicle is explored theoretically. In the approach to the problem, a nonuniform free-free Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli beamlike structure is modeled. A provision is made to take into consideration the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. Large thrust-to-weight ratio leads to large axial accelerations that result in an axial inertia load distribution from nose to tail which causes the development of significant compressive forces along the length of the launch vehicle. Therefore, it is important to take into account this effect in the transverse vibration model. Once the transfer matrix of a single component has been obtained, the product of all component matrices composes the matrix of the entire structure. The frequency equation and mode shape are formulated in terms of the elements of the structural matrices. Flight test and analytical results validate the present TMM formulas.

Due to the mass consumption and engine thrust of a flexible missile during the powered phase flight, its natural vibration characteristics may be changed significantly. The calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes plays an important role in the structural design of the missile. Aiming at calculating the natural vibration characteristics of the missile rapidly and accurately, a nonuniform beam subjected to an engine thrust is used to model the free vibration of the missile and Riccati transfer matrix method (RTMM) is adopted in this paper. Numerical results show that the natural frequencies of a typical single stage flexible missile are increased unceasingly in its powered phase, and its mode shapes are changed a lot. When the presented methodology is used to study the natural vibration characteristics of flexible missiles, not only the mass, stiffness, and axial compressive force distributions are described realistically but also numerical stability, high computation speed, and accuracy are achieved.

Natural vibration characteristics play a very important role in the evaluation of the dynamics characteristics and the machined surface of a single-point diamond fly cutting machine tool (SDFCMT). In this paper, the natural vibration characteristics are studied from aspects of theory, computation, and experiment. By adopting the transfer matrix method for multibody systems (MSTMM), the dynamics model and its topology figure are established, and its natural vibration characteristics are computed. The computation results are verified by a modal test.

The transfer matrix method for multibody system takes into account the accuracy of the equations of motion and the efficiency of the algorithm. Especially if a system is composed of flexible and rigid components, transfer matrix method for multibody system reduces the dynamics problem to an overall transfer equation which only involves boundary state vectors. The state vectors at the boundary are made up of rotation angles, displacements, shear forces, and bending moments, which are normally half known and half unknown. The proposed transfer matrix method for multibody system of multibody system dynamics to determine the vibration characteristics is easy to formulate, systematic to apply, and simple to code. The purpose of this study is to introduce a modeling and simulation idea of beam with attachments based on transfer matrix method for multibody system. Numerical results for several examples of beam with attachments are presented to demonstrate the validity of this method.

The elastic vibration of the wheelset is a potential factor inducing wheel-rail defects. It is important to understand the natural vibration characteristics of the flexible wheelset for slowing down the defect growth. To estimate the elastic free vibration of the railway wheelset with the multidiameter axle, the transfer matrix method (TMM) is applied. The transfer matrices of four types of elastic beam models are derived including the Euler–Bernoulli beam, Timoshenko beam, elastic beam without mass and shearing stiffness, and massless elastic beam with shearing stiffness. For each type, the simplified model and detailed models of the flexible wheelset are developed. Both bending and torsional modes are compared with that of the finite element (FE) model. For the wheelset bending modes, if the wheel axle is modelled as the Euler–Bernoulli beam and Timoshenko beam, the natural frequencies can be reflected accurately, especially for the latter one. Due to the lower solving accuracy, the massless beam models are not applicable for the analysis of natural characteristics of the wheelset. The increase of the dividing segment number of the flexible axle is helpful to improve the modal solving accuracy, while the computation effort is almost kept in the same level. For the torsional vibration mode, it mainly depends on the axle torsional stiffness and wheel inertia rather than axle torsional inertia.

A transfer matrix method is presented for the determination of complex eigensolutions associated with the damped torsional vibrations of single shaft machine trains. The system is described and the natures of the eigenvalues are discussed. The general solution method is developed, and the method is applied to two example problems. One of the examples is quite simple, while the other is entirely realistic.

In this paper, we present current-voltage model characterization calculation of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3ferroelectric-based solar cell to determine its effective mass. Numerical calculation was done using Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). Fitting between the calculations results with experiment data can be done by approximating the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3effective mass value. Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3effective mass can be obtained when both data fit.
