SUMMARYIn this paper, decomposition of matrices of special patterns to submatrices of smaller dimensions is brie y described. The graph models of frame structures with di erent symmetries are decomposed and appropriate processes are designed for their healing in order to form the corresponding factors. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the entire structure are then obtained by evaluating those of its factors. The methods developed in this article, simpliÿes the calculation of the natural frequencies and natural modes of the planar frames with di erent types of symmetry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
