Wind loads for bar-truss structuresAn analysis method developed to calculate the wind loads on the nodes or joints of the truss type support structure of the 64 meter antenna is described. The method uses the CBAR element and GRID coordinate cards of the NASTRAN or IDEAS structural analysis programs as inputs to the computer model of the structure. Cross flow principles and vector analysis are also used in the analysis. The algorithms used are described and probable accuracy of the solution is discussed.
