Abstract
This chapter extends the material of Chapter 6, Nonlinear Analysis of Membranes, to include the effects of bending and the material of Chapter 5, Nonlinear Analysis of Space Frames, to remove rigid body rotations (Levy and Gal 2002C). Chapter 6 discussed a “membrane shell”, using a finite element developed for fabric structures applications where the stress levels are almost constant. The approach to shell buckling of this chapter is quite general, building upon this work in Chapter 6.
