An analytical method for the static analysis of double layer grids consisting of diagonals and top and bottom layers which are plane orthogonal grids is presented. It is assumed that the double layer grid is simply supported at all nodes located at the boundary of the top layer. By using the double U-transformation technique, exact solutions for the nodal displacements and axial forces of the bars in the double layer grid can be derived. The validity of the method is demonstrated with a simple example.

Using a complete set of displacement potential functions, the exact solution of three-dimensional elasticity equations of a simply supported rectangular plates with constant thickness consisting of a transversely isotropic linearly elastic material subjected to an arbitrary static load is presented. The governing partial differential equations for the potential functions are solved through the use of the Fourier method, which results in exponential and trigonometric expression along the plate thickness and the other two lengths respectively. The displacements, stresses, and internal forces are determined through the potential functions at any point of the body. To prove the validity of this approach, the analytical solutions developed in this paper are degenerated for the simpler case of plates containing isotropic material and compared with the existing solution. In addition, the numerical results obtained from this study are compared with those reported in other researches for the isotropic material, where excellent agreement is achieved for both thin and thick plates. The results show that increasing the thickness ratios of the plate causes compressive axial forces and central shear forces inside the plate. Finally, the internal forces and displacement components are calculated numerically for several kinds of transversely isotropic materials with different anisotropies and are compared with a finite element (FE) solution obtained from the ANSYS software, where the high accuracy of the present method is demonstrated. The effects of the material anisotropy are clearly revealed in the numerical results presented.

Based on the transfer matrix method, an analytical method is proposed to conduct the modal analysis of the simply supported steel beam with multiple transverse open cracks under different temperatures. The open cracks are replaced with torsion springs without mass, and local flexibility caused by each crack can be derived; the temperature module is introduced by the mechanical properties variation of the structural material, and the temperature load is caused by the temperature variation, which can be transformed to the axial force on the cross-section. The transfer matrix of the whole beam with the temperature and geometric parameters of cracks can be obtained. According to boundary conditions of the simply supported beam, natural frequencies of the beam can be calculated, which are compared with the finite element results. Results indicate that the analytical method proposed has a high accuracy; the natural frequencies of the simply supported steel beam are mostly affected by the temperature load, which cannot be ignored.
