Title A STUDY ON COMPENSATION OF MEMBRANE MATERIAL IN CONSIDERATION OF FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS
Author Tatsuya Kotake,Makoto Kikushima,Kaoru Nishikawa
Summary At present, a compensation in membrane materials is determined by the result of a biaxial loading tests. So,there are some cases that re-tension on fabric is necessary for the relaxation of membrane materials alter construction. This paper deals with the method to set a compensation to keep the initial tension alter the relaxation by means of grasping the visco-elasticity and the fabric characteristics by using a model of a membrane material on results of an uniaxial loading test, the analysis and the experiment about a mock-up test structure.
