Abstract:
      In view of the constitutive nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity of the cable-network antenna, the parametric variational principle and a co-rotational formation were introduced to establish the finite element governing equation.The improved Newton method was employed to solve the governing equation.Firstly,the method was applied for pretension balance calculation of cable-network antenna.The analysis results show that the improved Newton method has a better convergence than Newton-Raphson method.Further,the iterative principle of force density method combined with this finite element method was applied for nonlinear form-finding analysis of the cable-network antenna and an ideal configuration was obtained.The output of this paper is expected to provide some valuable information for studying other similar structures in the future.
