Three‐dimensional elastic beam frames: Rigid joint conditions in variational and differential formulation

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We consider three-dimensional elastic frames constructed out of Euler--Bernoulli beams and describe a simple process of generating joint conditions out of the geometric description of the frame. The corresponding differential operator is shown to be self-adjoint. In the special case of planar frames, the operator decomposes into a direct sum of two operators, one coupling out-of-plane displacement to angular (torsional) displacement and the other coupling in-plane displacement with axial displacement (compression). Detailed analysis of two examples is presented. We actively exploit the symmetry present in the examples and decompose the operator by restricting it onto reducing subspaces corresponding to irreducible representations of the symmetry group. These ``quotient operators are shown to capture particular oscillation modes of the frame.
