The wave-coupling method is implemented here for three-dimensional transfer matrices of space structures. It should be noted that sub-transfer matrices extracted from those presented here may be used to describe the boundary conditions, which saves a lot of computer space.
A numerical example verifies velocity compatibility at a joint of a three-dimensional frame.
