How matrices r used to analyse vibrations on airplanes during world war 2 ?

They were used back then the same way they are used today. When you model the vibration of a system you end up with several equations. The larger the system the more equations you end up with and the more terms they have. Anytime you end up with a system of large equations matrices are used to simplify the calculations. Mathematically speaking matrices behave rather nicely, following very strict rules that make using them to solve equations relatively easy. This is all the more important for WWII engineers given that they didn’t have computers to help crunch the numbers.
