Aspects of large strain membrane analysis using the finite element method

Kinematics of membrane analysis are described, including deformation gradients, Cauchy-Green tensors, and strain invariants developed from Cauchy-Green tensors. The membrane is described in terms of three configurations: initial, reference, and current. The membrane problem is solved using the finit...
