DYNAMICS ANALYSIS OF A TRUSS SYSTEM MODELLED BY THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN

The dynamic analysis of a truss system modelled by the finite element method in the frequency domain is studied. The truss system is modelled by 22 elements and has 44 degrees of freedom. The stiffness matrix and mass matrix of the truss system are obtained by using the finite element method. Differential equations of the truss system are obtained by using the obtained stiffness and mass matrix. By applying the Laplace transformation, the displacements of each node are calculated, and the equation is arranged in the frequency domain. The obtained differential equations are solved by using MATLAB. Eigen values are calculated and represented depending on the frequencies. Thus, static displacements, dynamic displacements, static reaction forces and dynamic reaction forces for each frequency are graphically obtained. Additionally, dynamic amplification factors are calculated and simulated depending on the frequencies. Dynamic displacements increased near the eigenvalues, and the dynamic amplification factors also increased dramatically depending on the related eigenvalues. By avoiding the natural frequency, it is possible to design a better structure to reduce vibration.
