The truss-beam and space technology

Abstract

A method is presented herein to determine the dynamic characteristics of truss-beam systems for both planar and space structures. Results from this approach are compared with those of the finite element method and test results. The truss-beam model is based on the assumptions of negligible web contribution, i.e., very large flexible structures. Future experimental evaluation of the plane truss-system is planned at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and this experimental program is described.
