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.

This paper is focused on the static analysis of cable-membrane structures using the dynamic relaxation method. Several different processes of dynamic relaxation method are compared in this paper. The techniques with viscous damping and the techniques with kinetic damping are used. The efficiency and stability of each process are compared to selected 3D examples of cable-membrane structures. The effect of mass distribution along the structure is also of interest and it is studied in the paper.

SummaryThe Dynamic Relaxation method is used to analyse the post-buckling of flat rectangular plates. Extensive results are obtained for two types of problem in which the transverse edges are unloaded; in one case the transverse edges remain straight, in the other they are free to wave. Comparisons are made with alternative experimental and theoretical results. The potentiality of this approach to post-buckling problems is demonstrated by considering a variable thickness plate with mixed boundary conditions.

The aim of this article is to assess the speed of convergence of numerical calculation of cable-membrane structures using dynamic relaxation method in the process of finding critical damping pre-calculated on undamped system. The procedure is tested on four different constructions in six numerical cases. The variety of examples is as large as possible to demonstrate the greatest versatility of the test procedure. The efficiency of the procedure is evaluated based on the number of iterations.
