Título: Modeling the slippage between membrane and border cables
Autor: PAULETTI, Ruy M. O.; MARTINS, Carolina B.
Resumen: This paper presents the theoretical formulation and the implementation of a class of finite
elements capable of representing the slippage between border cables and membrane
sheaths, without distortion of the cable's tangent stiffness. After reviewing the 3-node
Aufare's sliding-cable element, new sliding-cable super-element is proposed, which
simplifies the mesh generation labor and overcomes some limitations of Aufare's elements
to deal with large amounts of relative sliding between cables and membrane, which arises as long as meshes are refined.
