Modelling and Structural Design for Parallel Umbrella-Shaped Cable-Strut Structures Based on Stationary Potential Energy Principles

A method for the modelling and structural design of a parallel umbrella-shaped cable-strut structure (PUSC) is presented. First, simplified calculation models of a PUSC are built. Next, based on the principle of stationary potential energy, the relationships among the cable sectional areas, prestres...
