NURBS-based isogeometric analysis was first extended to thin shell/membrane structures
which allows for finite membrane stretching as well as large deflection and bending strain …

Different from large deflection analyses of plates and shells, for analysis of an isotropic
membrane structure a form finding procedure is first performed to find the new geometry of …

This paper presents a large deflection analysis of membrane structures, in which a 4-node
quadrilateral membrane element is proposed. The element is developed based on an …

The aim of this paper is to present the design of a new long-range robotic arm based on an
inflatable structure. Inflatable robotics has potential for improved large payload-to-weight …

A numerical method is presented for the solution of partial fractional differential equations
(FDEs) arising in engineering applications and in general in mathematical physics. The …

The nonlinear vibrational properties of single layer graphene sheets (SLGSs) are
investigated using a membrane model. The nonlinear equation of motion is considered for …

In this paper, a constant strain triangular membrane element, which is a new member of the
VFIFE (vector form intrinsic finite element) family, is proposed to analyze space motion of …

Due to the orthotropic and tensile nonlinear characteristics of thin structural membranes, the
constitutive relation and large deformation behavior of these materials are complicated, as it …

The non-prestressed cable-membrane structures exhibit significant nonlinear characteristics
such as mechanism displacement and large deformation under external loads. Analyzing …
