Abstract:According to the basic idea of classical yinyang complementarity and modern dualcomplementarity,in a simple and unified new way proposed by Luo,the unconventional Hamiltontype variational principles for elastodynamics of space frame structures were established systematically. The unconventional Hamiltontype variational principle can fully characterize the initialboundaryvalue problem of space frame structures’ elastodynamics. In this paper,an important integral relation was given,which can be considered as the expression of the generalized principle of virtual work for elastodynamics of space frame structures. Based on this relation,it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work for elastodynamics of space frame structures,but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for fivefield,threefield and twofield unconventional Hamiltontype variational principles,and the functional for onefield and the unconventional Hamiltontype variational principle in phase space by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper. Furthermore,with this new approach,the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.
