Abstract

Natural vibration frequencies and modes of repetitive structures, including symmetric, periodic, linking structures, are considered in this work. By using the repetition of the identical parts, we reduce the eigenvalue problem of the structure to a set of eigenvalue problems of lower dimensions associated with the parts. Special forms and properties of the modes of natural vibrations are observed.
