| Summary |
We need both of the shape and stress analysis to grasp the structural behaviors of membrane structures and also to design them under loading. The paper discusses a formulation of incremental stiffness equation based on the finite element method using eight-node isoparametric curved elements. The effectiveness of the eight-node isoparametric curved element is shown by the analytical results for HPsurface Esaddle surface and catenoid under bi-axial tension and as well as a saddle surface under non-uniform bi-axial tension.
