Vibration Reduction Analysis of Reticulated Shell

Reticulated shell is one type of the common spatial structure form. This paper proposes a vibration reduction method by supplementing viscous dampers in the reticulated shell. It analyzes the seismic performance on the optimum partial double-layer reticulated shell with dampers by ANSYS soft, gains the stress in the members and the nodal displacements, and compares the dynamic responses between the normal and vibration reduction structure. By means of different parameters, the rules of vibration reduction effect in the reticulated shell with viscous dampers are acquired. It is shown through the calculation that the method developed in this paper is efficient for the dynamic analysis of the reticulated shells.
