Parameter Influence Analysis of Stability for Suspendome Structure

Abstract:

Taking the new type hybrid structure of suspendome as the analytical object, its stability performance is studied in detail. Through the method of nonlinear buckling analysis, the influences of different parameters on the stability are systematically analyzed i.e. rise-span ratio, plane shape factor, prestress and length of strut. The results show that rise-span ratio, plane shape factor and length of strut have great effects on the structural stability while prestress has small effect.
