Abstract

Eigenvalue problems of ordinary differential equation systems are discussed. The concept of the Green function matrix is introduced. By utilizing the Green function matrices the eigenvalue problems described by ordinary differential equation systems can be reduced to eigenvalue problems governed by homogeneous Fredholm integral equation systems. The solution algorithm presented in Chapter 8 is generalized for such eigenvalue problems. The applications are related to the vibration problems of Timoshenko beams.
