Computer Analysis and Design of Cable-Membrane Structures
B.H.V. Topping ang P. Iványi
Abstract: Cable-membrane structures provide interesting architectural forms for: exhibition structures; temporary enclosures; theatres; and sports areas. This book concentrates on the computationl aspects of their analysis and design using the dynamic relaxation method with finite element idealisation. The book also explains how parallel and distributed computers may be used to speed up the design. The topics considered in the book include: mesh generation for cable-membrane structures; formulation of and controlling the dynamic relaxation analysis; finite element formulations for cables, membranes and geodesic strings; formfinding; cutting pattern generation; sequential and parallel analysis and design; and decomposition for parallel finite element analysis.
The book is intended for researchers and postgraduate students working in the field of finite element technology. The book is accompanied by a voucher for a complementary software disk containing both the sequential and parallel source codes described in the book.

zhaoyu兄,抱歉,我在南大没有找到这本书,倒是有几本80年代写的,如
<statics,formfinding,and dynamics of air-supported membrane structures>;
<Tensile structures:design structure;and calculation of buildings of cables;nets and membranes>; <IASS symposium on membrane structures and space structures>作者:

据我所知,在索膜等张拉体系方面很有造诣的是五六十年代德国斯图加特大学的Frei Otto教授和美国MIT的Irvine, H. Max教授,还有Alan G. Davenport教授,他们在该领域作了很多工作,其代表著作分别是:
