Time-dependent analysis of cable nets using a modified nonlinear force-density method and creep theory
A modified force density method for a time-dependent analysis of cable nets. Creep constitutive equations of steel cables are introduced. A proposed computational approach is implemented in developed software. Numerical simulations of time-dependent behaviour of cable nets are presented. The performance and potential of the approach are illustrated and discussed.
