Title: Equilibrium analysis of elasto-plastic cable nets
Abstract: The equilibrium equations for elasto-plastic deformation of cable nets are derived. The neccessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of equilibrium configurations are discussed and the uniqueness of the solution is addressed. Particular attention is given to the path-dependency of the solution in terms of how the external loading and/or prescribed displacements are applied. Because of this dependency of solution on the history of the loading, an incremental technique is introduced as the solution procedure. Several examples are presented to show this path dependency.
