SPECTRUM OF OWN FREQUENCIES OF A SPATIAL SURFACING GIRDER

Abstract

Statement of the problem. The scheme of a statically definable girder of a spatial rectangular surfacing is discussed. The problem is to identify the formula for the dependence of the lower estimate of the first frequency of the natural oscillations of the structure by means of the Donkerley method on the number of panels. The truss has supports on the sides and consists of separate rod cells connected in pyramids. Results. Based on the analysis of the sequence of analytical solutions for the first frequency of girders with a different number of panels by induction, the coefficients in the desired formula are derived. The common members of the sequences of coefficients are found as solutions of homogeneous recurrent equations formed according to the results of the calculations using Maple operators. The resulting dependences are obtained in the form of polynomials by the number of panels. A comparison of the analytical solution with the numerical one is provided.Conclusions. An algorithm for deriving an analytical estimate of the fundamental frequency of oscillations of a spatial structure depending on the number of panels, mass, size, and elastic properties of the material is shown. The spectrum of oscillation frequencies of the structure is analyzed. The resulting dependences can be employed in seismic and structural optimization problems.
