Vibrations of long repetitive structures by a double scale asymptotic method
E.M. Daya and M. Potier-Ferry(France)

 
Abstract
    In this paper, an asymptotic two-scale method is developed for solving vibration problem of
long periodic structures. Such eigenmodes appear as a slow modulations of a periodic one. For those, the
present method splits the vibration problem into two small problems at each order. The first one is a
periodic problem and is posed on a few basic cells. The second is an amplitude equation to be satisfied
by the envelope of the eigenmode. In this way, one can avoid the discretisation of the whole structure.
Applying the Floquet method, the boundary conditions of the global problem are determined for any order
of the asymptotic expansions.
