The eigenvalue problem for networks of beams. (English) Zbl 0979.74026
Summary: We perform spectral analysis of different models of networks of Euler-Bernoulli beams. First, we derive the characteristic equation for the spectrum. Secondly, in some particular situations, we show that the spectrum depends only on the structure of the graph. Thirdly, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues by proving the so-called Weyl’s formula.
