Abstract
The objective of the paper is to present a mathematical
model for analysis of prestressed cable structures with
flexible contour beam. The proposed numerical procedures
are based on a discrete scheme according to the finite element
method. Reliable model of the interaction of the
flexible contour beam with the cable network enables to
achieve more efficient solutions in the design analysis. Geometrical
nonlinearity is accounted for in the cable net substructure,
contour beam is modelled by linear beam elements.
Equations are solved by iterative methods and
explicit time integration. The described numerical technique
has been employed to model prestressing, static and dynamic
behaviour. Theoretical results have been compared to experimental
data and used in practical applications.
