Abstract

This chapter is something of a digression from the other chapters of this text which are concerned strictly with the analysis of specific types of structures. Here the concern is with how cable nets and fabric structures are designed. This in turn raises the question of how shape is to be determined which in turn returns to the question of the application of some methods of nonlinear analysis. But no new analysis topics are introduced in this chapter.
