Abstract
All iterative method for the static analysis of structures
Which includes cables and fabrics is presented here. The
structure is assumed to be composed of straight members
which accepting tension and/or compression: they may have
an elastic non-linear behaviour, and are joined in articulated
nodes. Sequences of consecutive connected members,
slipping on the intermediate nodes (polygonal cables) and
all of them withstanding the same tension may also be
considered. The method which takes into consideration all
the characteristics of this type of structure is fully described
and a set of examples is included.
