Abstract

Abstract

Based on analytical equations,a catenary element is presented for the finite element analysis of cable structures.Compared with usually used element(3-node element,5-node element),a program with the proposed element is of less computer time and better accuracy
- cable structures,
- catenary elements,
- tangent stiffness matrix
