Abstract:
      In this paper orthogonal and ortho-laid double-layer space grids have been assumed as orthotropic sandwich plate,and are analyzed by the theory of plate with consideration of shear deformation and three generalized displacements. Static analysis of double-layer space grids under distributed loading,natural vibration analysis and stability analysis of three kinds of double-layer space grids have been studied with splitting rigidity method.The calculating formulas for internal forces,displacements,fundamental frequency and critical load of double-layer space grids have been given.The comparison with the results of finite element method shows that as a simplified method,the method presented in this paper is pretty accurate,whose error is less than 5 percent in general.It can be used in the preliminary design of engineering structure in case that the internal forces,displacements,fundamental frequency and critical load of double-layer space grids can be obtained rapidly.Furthermore,comparing with other simplified method its solution is more accurate and its process is more simplified.
