User manual for BUNVIS-RG: An exact buckling and vibration program for lattice structures, with repetitive geometry and substructuring options

摘要

A computer program is described which is especially suited for making vibration and buckling calculations for prestressed lattice structures that might be used for space application. Structures having repetitive geometry are treated in a very efficient manner. Detailed instructions for data input are given along with several example problems illustrating the use and capability of the program.
