Wrinkled Membranes Part Iii: Numerical Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the third and final part of a study of wrinkles in thin membrane structures. High-fidelity, geometrically nonlinear finite element models of membrane structures , based on thin-shell elements, are used to simulate the onset and growth of wrinkles. The simulations are carried out with the ABAQUS finite element package. The accuracy of the results is demonstrated by computing the characteristics of the wrinkles in two specific membrane structures that were investigated experimentally and analytically in the first two papers in this series.

AIAA 2002-1369 Computation of Wrinkle Amplitudes in Thin Membranes
There is an increasing number of space missions in which it is proposed to use high accuracy membrane structures and it is envisaged that some of these membranes will remain partially wrinkled in their operational configuration. Previous studies have focussed only on the stress distribution in wrinkled membranes, but for high accuracy applications the amplitude and wavelength of the wrinkles be...
متن کاملElasto-plasticity in wrinkled polymerized lipid membranes
Biomembranes shown to behave like elastic sheets, can also suffer plastic deformations. Neutron scattering experiments on partially polymerised wrinkled membranes revealed that when a critical degree of polymerisation is crossed, the wrinkled membranes do not resume their spherical shapes. Instead they remain wrinkled and rigid while their non-polymerised counterparts resume their spherical flo...

In this study, the capabilities of WAWEWATCH-III and MIKE21-SW for predicting the characteristics ofwind-generated waves in Hormuz Strait are evaluated. The numerical models have been set up using Input data including GFS wind with 5° spatial resolution and 6 hours time intervals, along with the ETOPO1 bathymetry data with 2 arc-minute spatial resolutions. The results of the two model simulatio...
متن کاملExistence Theorems for Thin Inflated Wrinkled Membranes Subjected to a Hydrostatic Pressure
In this paper, we establish rigorous existence theorems for a mathematical model of a thin inflated wrinkled membrane that is subjected to a shape dependent hydrostatic pressure load. We are motivated by the problem of determining the equilibrium shape of a strained high altitude large scientific balloon. This problem has a number of unique features. The balloon is very thin (20-30 μm), especia...
متن کاملInflation and Instabilities of Hyperelastic Membranes
The applications of membranes are increasing rapidly in various fields of engineering and science. The geometric, material, force and contact non-linearities complicate their analysis, which increases the demand for computationally efficient methods and interpretation of counter-intuitive behaviours. To understand the complex behaviour of membrane structures, it is necessary to perform parametr...
