Uma membrana é esticada através de um pré-esforço isotrópico entre dois raios de dois cilindros concêntricos que não se encontram num plano paralelo ao eixo vertical. Find the final minimum shape of the membrane - the helicoid - and determine the surface area of the resulting membrane. The add-on module RF-FORM-FINDING is used for this purpose. Elastic deformations are neglected both in RF-FORM-FINDING and in the analytical solution; self-weight is also neglected in this example.
Uma membrana cilíndrica é esticada utilizando pré-esforço isotrópico. Find the final minimal shape of the membrane - catenoid. Determine the maximum radial deflection of the membrane.

The add-on module RF-FORM-FINDING is used for this purpose. Elastic deformations are neglected both in RF-FORM-FINDING and in the analytical solution; self-weight is also neglected in this example.
Uma membrana esférica de balão é preenchida com gás com pressão atmosférica e volume definido (estes valores são utilizados apenas para a definição do modelo de EF).

Elastic deformations are neglected both in RF-FORM-FINDING and in the analytical solution; self-weight is also neglected in this example.
A estrutura de pórticos de dois pisos está sujeita a cargas sísmicas. The modulus of elasticity and cross‑section of the frame beams are much larger than those of the columns, so the beams can be considered rigid. The elastic response spectrum is given by the standard SIA 261/1:2003. Neglecting self-weight and assuming the lumped masses are at the floor levels, determine the natural frequencies of the structure. For each frequency obtained, specify the standardized displacements of the floors as well as equivalent forces generated using the elastic response spectrum according to the standard SIA 261/1.2003.
Quatro pilares estão fixados na parte inferior e ligados por um bloco rígido na parte superior. The block is loaded by pressure and modeled by an elastic material with a high modulus of elasticity. The outer columns are modeled by linear elastic material and the inner columns by a stress-strain diagram with decaying dependence. Assuming only the small deformation theory and neglecting the structure's self-weight, determine its maximum deflection.
Determine a flecha máxima de quatro pilares fixados na parte inferior, os quais estão ligados por um bloco rígido na parte superior. The block is loaded by pressure and modeled by an elastic material with a high modulus of elasticity. The outer columns are modeled as orthotropic elastic material, and the inner columns as orthotropic elastic-plastic material with the same elastic parameters as the outer columns and plasticity properties defined according to the Tsai-Wu plasticity theory.
