The geometrical non-linear response of some pre-tensioned cable structures

A geometrical non-linear analysis of pre-tensioned cable structures is presented. Fully consistent methods of analysis are developed from earlier work involving minimum energy search techniques. The descent direction in the iterative process is determined by the method of conjugate gradients. The a...
