Cable-Membrane Structures - Numerical Analysis and Practical Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a practical application of form-finding process of cable-membrane structures. The dynamic relaxation method with kinetic damping is used as the computation method for numerical analysis. A brief description of the construction, a description of the models and the way of solving tasks will be introduced. The correct operation of the implemented algorithm will be compared with a commercial program.
