Research on the Method for Force Finding of Prestressed Cable Net

Abstract:

Cable net is a typical kind of flexible space structure, the effective stiffness forming need be through the prestress. The distribution of the prestressed need be through morphological analysis to find in finish. Based on the analysis of two methods: force reduction equilibrium method and inverse iteration method, the basic thought and algorithm of the two methods were analyzed. The numerical results indicate that the large cable network structure can be obtained through analysis for force satisfies given shape of prestress distribution.
