Abstract

In the design of membrane structures, one encounters the problem of "nondevelopability". The final membrane structure is doubly curved, but has to be built from flat panels. Due to this discrepancy, additional stresses arise in the structure. Methods are presented for including these stresses in the form finding procedure and structural analysis for a more realistic representation of the actual stress state.
