Title Fundamental Study for Form-Finding Analyses of Equally Stressed Surfaces with Elastic Bounadries
Author Shu Ohizumi,Ken’ichi Kawaguchi,Masato Araya
Summary Form-Finding Analyses of membrane structure in the history, they performed only for the surface, because of assuming a rigid boundary. Therefore, the member of boundaries will be bigger. On the other hand, assuming the interaction of membrane and bending member , it is believed to be possible to implement a new membrane system with a light boundary. In this study, first, performing soap film experiments with fishing gut, we consider principles of shape decision. Second, by using 3-D shape measurement of soap film experiments, we consider mechanical properties of system in soap-film and fishing gut. Third, we consider descriptive method of boundary shape by Frenet-Seret formulation.
