Form Finding Analysis

This paper presents the computational form-finding analysis of half-Costa tensioned membrane structure model in YZ-plane with different boundaries. The computational form-finding analysis is carried out based on nonlinear analysis method. The tensioned membrane structure in the form of half-Costa models in YZ-plane with different geometry have been found to converge with least square error of total warp and fill stress deviation. The outcome of this paper can serve as a reference in selecting satisfactory parameters to allow the performance increase of tensioned membrane structure in the form of half-Costa in YZ-plane respected to their boundary condition. These models will be selective forms of tensioned membrane structure for design engineers and architect to ponder on as it is a resource efficient structure hence preventing further damage to the environment.

Dynamic Relaxation Method

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.
