Study on Vibration of Damped Linear Systems with Multiple Eigenvalues

In this paper, the transfer function method in complex modal theory has been studied.The transfer function matrix and its residual matrices of a damped linear system are introduced. The expansion formula of the transfer function matrix is derived and proved, with which the real expressions are developed for vibration response of a damped linear system with multiple degrees of freedom. The expressions presented in the paper can be used to compute the vibration response of a damped linear system in which one or more multiple eigenvalues may exist, so the problem dealing with multiple eigenvalues is solved about the solution of the vibration response of a damped linear system. Finally one example is shown.
