Abstract
An experimental program was designed in the current work to capture the structuralbehavior of two different space trusses under static loads and under increasing the temperature atthe truss nodes up to failure. The results of the two space trusses tested include the centraldeflection of the truss and the axial forces in truss members under the applied loads andtemperature. Also analytical studies based on finite element method for the two tested trusses areintroduced in this paper. A comparison between experimental work and analytical study ispresented and discussed. The finite element simulation gives good agreement with theexperimental results. Also the results of the current work indicate that increasing the temperaturecauses a local failure due to fusion of the node at which the temperature was applied.
