Grafy transformacji zmiennych jako modele drgających układów ciągłych

A method of analysis of the vibrations of continuous systems has been presented by the application of the graphs of variables transformation. The method consists in the determination of the principal paths in the system graph, and has been applied in determining the characteristic equation and the dynamical flexibility of the system. In the case of complex systems a method has been applied to the decomposition of the system into subsystems and the aggregation of their subgraphs.The examples illustrate the application of the method in the analysis of the longitudinal vibrations of continuous systems.
