Study on the Shape Optimization of Cable-Stiffened Single-Layer Latticed Shells
The cable-stiffened single-layer latticed shell is a new type of spatial structure. In this paper, a shape optimization method is proposed for two kinds of cable-stiffened single-layer latticed shells. Firstly...

Uniaxial creep property and viscoelastic–plastic modelling of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foil has been widely used in spatial structures for its light weight and high transparency. This paper studies short- and long-term creep properties of ETFE foil. Two series...
