In the presentation, the challenges for the form finding and analysis of taut, light and flexible structures will be discussed. A number of techniques such as Newton’s method, matrix methods, the force density (and its extension natural force density) as well as dynamic relaxation will be highlighted and exemplified with a number of design examples.
Please join us on Wednesday 3rd of June at 4:30pm in E219, CEE, PU for Prof. Pauletti, Sao Paulo University on ““Taut Structures: a personal approach to the analysis of cable and membrane structures”.
