A Further Sequel to Technical Note 14: The FUGA Family of Elements for Folded Plate Structures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The success of the TUBA plate elements, has not only engendered the development of the SHEBA elements but has also lead, nolens volens, to the consideration of folded plate structures (Faltwerke), which are of considerable practical importance. A little thought shows that a consistent theory of such systems requires that the kinematic representation or interpolation rule of the membrane state is identical to that for the bending state laid down in the TUBA analysis. Moreover, the membrane modes must be effectively the same as the ones adopted for the SHEBA element.
