Assessment of stress state and dynamic characteristics of plane and spatial structure
Abstract This study is devoted to the assessment of the stress state and dynamic characteristics of various structures. The actual task at the design stage is to determine the parameters of a structure. In this article, a mathematical model was developed for assessing the stress state and dynamic characteristics of plane and spatial structures based on the Lagrange variational equation using the d’Alembert principle. The variational problem for the structures considered by the finite element method leads to the solution of nonhomogeneous algebraic equations or to the solution of algebraic eigenvalue problems. To assess the adequacy of the model and the accuracy of the numerical results obtained, a plane and spatial test problem with an exact solution was solved. Using the proposed model, the eigenfrequencies and modes of oscillations of the gravitational and earth dams (296 m high) of the Nurek reservoir were investigated. At that, it was revealed that in the natural modes of vibration of earth dams, the greatest displacements under low frequencies are observed at the crest part or at the middle of the slopes.
