박벽 공간 보-기둥과 뼈대구조의 자유진동 및 안정성 해석을 위한 일반이론

The general formulation of free vibration and stability analysis of unsymmetric thin-walled space frames and beam-columns is presented. The kinetic and total potential energy is derived by applying the extended virtual work principle, introducing displacement parameters defined at the arbitrarily chosen axis and including second order terms of finite semitangential rotations. In formulating the finite element procedure, cubic Hermitian polynomials are utilized as shape functions of the two node space frame element. Mass, elastic stiffness, and geometric stiffness matrices for the unsymmetric thin-walled section are evaluated. In order to illustrate the accuracy and practical usefulness of this formulation, finite element solutions for the free vibration and stability problems of thin-walled beam-columns and space frames are presented and compared with available solutions.
