FORM-FINDING ANALYSIS FOR CABLE-REINFORCED MEMBRANE STRUCTURE BASED ON MINIMAL SURFACE

This paper applies a discretization formulation of the finite element method using minimal surface for membrane structures and denotes an initial shape analysis procedure cable-reinforced HP-type suspension structure pneumatic as numerical model. In computation process cable introduction, moving boundaries are set is introduced step by to denote stable procedure. addition, elements obtained assuming time history response wind subdivided compute again. To verify equally tension property based on surface, stress deformation with coordinate assumption performed. For structure, example due increase in internal pressure strong winds shown. The above clarifies validity this
