Bending-active textile hybrids

Abstract

This paper discusses form-finding and simulation strategies for form- and bending-active hybrid structures. The interaction of tension in the surface and bending in beam elements leads to a complex form-finding question in which the boundary conditions for the membrane are nonlinear; they deform as a result of the membrane pre- stress. After a general introduction of form- and bending-active hybrid structures the form-finding question is discussed by introducing a numerical approach in FEM as well as through the discussion of realised projects.
