| Summary |
In the analysis of cable-reinforced membrane structureEŒthere are several complicated problemsEŒsuch as the fold of membrane by cableEŒsliding of cable on membrane surface and so on. As finite element method (FEM) can hardly to analyze these problemsEŒauthors have applied the element free Galerkin method (EFGM)EŒthe meshless method presented by T. Belytschko et. .al. in 1994EŒto analyze membrane structure with cable reinforcement. To model the sliding cable on membraneEŒthe arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is adopted. By using ALE formulationEŒdeformation of membrane and sliding
between cable and membrane can be represented as different displacement components. AdditionallyEŒconvected coordinate system is utilized for geometrically non-linear analysis. In this paperEŒthe proposed meshless method is applied to several numerical analyses of membrane structures with sliding cable.
