28 Lightweight Structures Characteristic for these types of systems is the relation of low weight to long spans. This is accomplished by avoiding that the loads are converted to bending stresses, instead they should be deducted as tension and compression. The FE-analysis of lightweight and shell structures is among the most diffi cult tasks – challenging the engineer and the software! Features • Analysis of the entire system with the combination of different types of elements such as beams, slabs, walls and shells using different materials like steel, glass, concrete and membranes • User defi ned materials • User defi ned stress- strain curves for material and spring elements • Construction stages • Partial system failure • Non-linear material behavior for concrete or metallic materials • 3rd order theory/ full geometric nonlinear analysis • Ultimate load capacity determination • Local and global stability analysis (plate buckling, lateral buckling) • Eigenvalues and eigenmode shapes • Global and local imperfections based on eigenmode shapes • Global buckling analysis • Warping torsion • Catenary effects • Post-tensioned shells
Membrane and Form Finding • Form fi nding with the FE method following the membrane theory • Iterative analysis with interaction between primary and secondary structure • Orthotropic pre-stress • Minimum surface (membrane) with isotropic pre-stress • Form fi nding with inner pressure (pneumatic structures) • Cutting patterns with consideration of material compensation • Consideration of the shear stiffness of the membrane fabric • Compression failure for the determination of wrinkling effects 29
