Circulant Matrices and Their Application to Vibration Analysis

Abstract

This paper provides a tutorial and summary of the theory of circulant matrices and their application to the modeling and analysis of the free and forced vibration of mechanical structures with cyclic symmetry. Our presentation of the basic theory is distilled from the classic book of Davis (1979, Circulant Matrices, 2nd ed., Wiley, New York) with results, proofs, and examples geared specifically to vibration applications. Our aim is to collect the most relevant results of the existing theory in a single paper, couch the mathematics in a form that is accessible to the vibrations analyst, and provide examples to highlight key concepts. A nonexhaustive survey of the relevant literature is also included, which can be used for further examples and to point the reader to important extensions, applications, and generalizations of the theory.

Efficient quantum circuits for dense circulant and circulant like operators

“…Assume all sectors have the same mass (M ∝ I) and there is zero damping (D = 0). If the system is under the so-called traveling wave engine order excitation, the equation of motion can be simplified as [16]:q…”

Superfluids, Fluctuations and Disorder

“…It has been shown [73,74] that, given R the number of the generating matrices and M their dimension, every block circulant matrix A is block diagonalized by the same unitary transformation. Indeed, one can verify that…”

Efficient quantum circuits for Toeplitz and Hankel matrices

“…Consider a rotating system with cyclic symmetry (such as fans, compressors, or turbines [28]) consisting of n + 2 sectors, where the displacement of the ith sector is denoted by u i .…”
