The Mini-Mast is a generic space truss designed by Astro Aerospace Corp. A 210 meter truss located in the Structural Dynamics research Lab of NASA Langley is used in comprehensive active vibration control experiments on a realistic large space structure. Some predictions of the natural frequencies and mode shapes were made based on the Finite Element model. The purpose here is to use the Truss-Beam model developed by Elias G. Abu-Saba to predict the natural frequencies of the Mini-Mast and then compare the results with those obtained from the FE model. Imperfections of the joints are modeled, and joint contribution to the flexibility matrix of the structure is noted. The natural frequencies are obtained. An iterative procedure is used to enhance the Truss-Beam model by comparing these results with experimental ones.
