Vibration Analysis and Design Optimisation Studies of Space Frames - Static Analysis

Abstract

<p> An oblique four bar structural model with fixed member ends, being the most general building block for space frames, is analysed for establishing its influence coefficients, using the Finite Element Matrix Method. </p> <p> Experimental techniques for measurement of the flexibility influence coefficients of the model are described. </p> <p> Experimental results have been compared against analytical ones. </p>
