Abstract
    The problem of dynamic analysis of truss structures based on probability is studied in this
paper. Considering the randomness of both physical parameters (elastic module and mass density) of
structural materials and geometric dimension of bars respectively or simultaneously, the stiffness and mass
matrixes of the elements and structure have been built. The structure dynamic characteristic based on
probability is analyzed, and the expressions of numeral characteristics of inherence frequency random
variable are derived from the Rayleigh
 
Key Words
    truss structure; physical parameter; geometric dimension; random variables; dynamic characteristic analysis.
