Opis

Cable-Network Structures: A New Approach to Form Finding, Optimal Design, and Shape Control provides a framework for form finding, optimal design, and shape control of cable-network structures in engineering applications and large scale structures. The book outlines cutting-edge methods for form finding, modeling, pseudo-geodesic design of surface geometries, minimum residual nodal displacements for optimal shape adjustment, and more. These methods are applied to large-scale structures and compared with other methods in numerical simulations. Easy-to-understand, this book serves as a useful resource on modeling, analysis, design and control of cable-network structures for professionals, researchers, and students in aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering.
