The class of second-order linear dynamical systems is considered. A method and algorithm are presented to transform any system with n degrees of freedom into n independent second-order equations. The ...

Linear superposition, as its name implies, is associated with linear systems. In your core undergraduate electrical circuits class, you learned that networks comprising only resistors, capacitors and ...

Linear motors and ball-screw drives seem to hog the limelight when it comes to linear motion. Rack-and-pinion drives, another type of linear motion device, get no respect. But they are perfectly ...
