LSU Lecture Series _ Ruy Pauletti: Taut Structures and Where to Find Them – Universität Innsbruck

Taut Structures and Where to Find Them _ LSU Lecture Series

Welcome to the lectures series 2023/24 at LSU, the Lightweight Structures Unit, Faculty of Architecture, Universität Innsbruck hosted by Professor Günther H. Filz.

Program of this talk: Light, taut and flexible structures; equilibrium of cables and membranes; geometric nonlinearity; numerical methods; some simple finite elements; pneumatics; wrinkling models; natural force density method; some applications on membrane structures.
