Abstract
The inertial forces that develop along the members of a truss
influence the response of the truss. These inertial forces cause
the members of the truss to bend, but also introduce axial
vibrations along them. Previous work included the bending
inertia effects in their analysis using the Component Mode
Method. In this work the axial local member vibration effects
on the overall behavior of the truss are included also by the
Component Mode Method. As was done before for the
bending vibrations, a limited number of axial modes are
added to the analysis. The members are treated as
substructures, and the element stiffness and mass matrices are
expanded to include the local mode effects. Several examples
are used to demonstrate the improvement of vibration
properties determination of plane and space trusses.
