摘要
Using group representation theory, it is possible to block-diagonalise the equilibrium matrix of a symmetric structure. This analysis can identify the symmetry properties of any states of self-stress or mechanisms present in the structure. This paper will show that in some cases, this linear analysis, combined with symmetry arguments, can show that particular mechanisms of a symmetric structure must be finite.
