In this paper, methods are presented for decomposing the Laplacian matrices of graphs having special symmetries. These graphs have special connectivity properties and correspond to matrices of attractive canonical forms. These forms are applied to the free vibration analysis ofsymmetric frame structures, and calculating the buckling load ofsymmetric planar frames.
