The distributed transfer function method (DTFM) is an analytical method for

modeling, analysis, and control of a class of distributed parameter systems that are

governed by partial differential equations and that can be defi ned over multiple

interconnected subregions. In this comprehensive reference, the authors show how the

DTFM delivers highly accurate analytical solutions in both the frequency domain and

the time domain while offering a versatile modeling technique for various problems

in mechanical, civil, aerospace, electrical, chemical, biomechanical, and vehicle

engineering.
