A canonical form of the equation of motion of linear dynamical systems

Abstract: The equation of motion of a discrete linear system has the form of a second-order ordinary differential equation with three real and square coefficient matrices. It is shown that, for almost all linear systems, such an equation can always be converted by an invertible transformation into a canonical form specified by two diagonal coefficient matrices associated with the generalized acceleration and displacement. This canonical form of the equation of motion is unique up to an equivalence class for non-defectiv… Show more

“…In a broad sense, when the matrix coefficients are constant, under some circumstances regarding C, it may be possible to convert the original coupled problem into n uncoupled problems [15]. When coefficient matrix C is written as a linear combination of M and K one can use a change of basis given by the eigenvectors of the generalized eigenvalue problem (modal problem), resulting in n independent one-dimensional second order ODEs [16].…”
