Continuum Modeling and dynamic Analysis of Platelike Truss Structures

평판형 트러스구조물의 연속체 모델링 및 동적해석

A rational and straightforward method is introduced for developing continuum models of large platelike periodic lattice structures based on energy equivalence. The procedure for developing continuum plate models involves the use of existing well-defined finite element matrices for the easy calculation of strain and kinetic energies of a repeating cell, from which the reduced stiffness and mass matrices are obtained in terms of continuum degrees- of-freedom defined in this paper. The equivalent continuum plate properties are obtained from the direct comparison of the reduced matrices for continuum plate with those for lattice plate. The advantages of the present continuum method are that it may be applied to arbitrary lattice configurations and may give most diverse equivalent continuum plate properties including all kinds of coupling, while other methods may give only limited structural properties. To evaluate the continuum method developed in this paper, free vibration analyses for both of continuum and lattice plates are conducted. Numerical results show that the present continuum method gives very reliable structural and dynamic properties compared to other well-recognized methods.
