Computer simulation of torsional vibrations of branched chain topology systems

This paper describes the torsional vibrations modelling of branched chain-topology systems using the transfer matrix method The computer program named TORZIJA, developed for this purpose, allows to predict eigenfrequencies, eigenvectors and the response of a system to harmonic forcing for undamped and damped linear models. The development and testing of the computer program are described. The user-friendly graphic interface for modelling is presented The results of the simulations have been compared to those obtained analytically as well as those given in references.
