Computer Aided Design Of Cable Membrane Structures

摘要

There are several great books on membrane structures, but few of them consider membrane calculations in detail. There are also many great books on structural analysis and nonlinear mechanics, but then again, few of them dedicate more than a glance to cable and membrane structures. The engineers and architects working on the structural analysis of tension structures have to rely mostly on information scattered among many technical papers. The book by Barry Topping and Peter Ivanyi has the merit of addressingrnmembrane structures from the point of view of structural engineering, providing relevant information, and gathering many references in an organized way.rnBarry H.V. Topping is a renowned researcher on Computational Mechanics. He is an Emeritus
