Title Buckling Characteristics of Hybrid Structures consisting of Membrane and Double-Layer Latticed Plate
Author Yoshiya Taniguchi,Toshitsugu Saka,Tooru Maehata
Summary In the future if the possibility of large space structural systems may be pursued,a new structural system must be needed. barring unexpected developments of materials. One of possible structural systems that have been developed is the hybrid system combining a space frame structure with a cladding,for example, a concrete slab, steel panels or membrane. In this paper,hybrid structures consisting of membrane and double-layer latticed plates are treated to investigate the effect of membrane on the buckling behavior theoretically. In the analyses,2 latticed patterns and 2 arrangements of membrane are used as parameters. As conclusion,it was made clear that buckling mode was changed and buckling strength was increased about 50% by the membrane.
