AbstractAccording to its symmetry and mechanical characteristics of suspended-cable structure, the continuous suspended-cable structure is simplified to three degrees of freedom model. Meanwhile, considering that the geometric nonlinear of structure under loading, the expressions of kinetic energy, potential energy and the work done by damping forces and conservative forces of the system are obtained through the geometric relationships of the simplified model and parameter hypothesis. With the selected generalized coordinates, the dynamic and static equilibrium equations can be derived based on the Lagrange formulation. Using the state space formulation method and Runge-Kutta algorithm, the numerical solution of the generalized coordinates under the static and dynamic equilibrium can be calculated by the programming with MATLAB, and then the pictures for the static equilibrium path, the dynamic time-history curve and the phase plan can be plotted. The results show that when the suspended-cable structure vibrates, the vibration amplitude decreases with the increase of time, and the vibration of the suspended-cable structure is always in a stable equilibrium state.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Suspension and suspended-cable structure in modern engineering construction are of highly important significance, because of the advantage of reasonable stress characteristic, economic use of materials, convenient construction, simple

  2. SESIMPLIFIED MODEL OF THREE DEGREES OF FREEDOM

    1. Simplified model

      First, single-span suspended-cable structure with continuous distributed mass can be translated to three concentrated mass particles by using the lumped mass method[5], as shown in Fig.1, thus the infinite degrees of freedom problem is simplified to limited degree of freedom. Due to its symmetry, take half-span structure shown in Fig.2 as the research object. Further, three degrees of freedom of springs and masses model is shown in Fig.3. This model contains two linear springs ki with corresponding damping ci (i=1,2) and two concentrated mass m1 and m2, which interconnected by spring. Support A is an immovable hinge and support B is a movable hinge. The system will reach a new equilibrium position under loads P1 and P2. The values of the design parameters are shown in Table 1 of Section 4. Assuming that the parameters are scaled such as l1,0=k1=m1=1, that is these quantities are expressed by using appropriate units rather than a standard MKS system of units.

      facilities, strong adaptability and attractive appearance, etc[1], they are widely used in large span buildings, bridges and

      other construction of facilities. However, under the service load, the suspended-cable structure will produce large displacement, so the geometric nonlinearity must be

      considered in the calculation[2]. At present, the researches on the dynamic response of single span suspension structure are most based on the continuous method and finite element method. In the aspect of simplified model research, nonlinear stability of the simplified model of the double suspension roofs have been studied by Sophianopoulos D.S.[3] based on
