Abstract:The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of multistage homotopy perturbation method (MHPM) to space truss structures composed of discrete members in order to obtain an analytical solution. For this research purpose, a nonlinear dynamic governing equation of the space truss structures was formulated in consideration of geometrical nonlinearity, and homotopy equations were derived using a formulated differential equation. The result of carrying out a dynamic analysis on a single-free-node mo… Show more
