Distributed indeterminacy evaluation of cable-strut structures: formulations and applications
The indeterminacy evaluation is an effective method for system identification; it can predict the mechanical behaviors of flexible structures in the primary design. However, the conventional indeterminacy eval...

Computational methods for the zero-stress state and the pre-stress state of tensile cable-net structures
This paper proposes an extended design concept and mechanical description for cable-net structures, including 10 states and 15 procedures which are defined according to their physical nature and analytical cap...

Wrinkle analysis of a space planar film reflect-array
The presence of wrinkles in a membrane is the main factor that induces surface errors on space planar film reflectarrays. Based on the commercial finite element (FE) package ABAQUS, a numerical procedure for m...

Initial pre-stress finding procedure and structural performance research for Levy cable dome based on linear adjustment theory
The cable-strut structural system is statically and kinematically indeterminate. The initial pre-stress is a key factor for determining the shape and load carrying capacity. A new numerical algorithm is presen...
