NONLINEAR METHOD FOR PREDICTING CREEP AND STRESS RELAXATION OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF TEXTILE FACADES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The paper considers the main parameters affecting the mechanical properties and durability of structural elements of textile facades. The authors propose a mathematical model representing a non-linear method for predicting the above parameters. The calculation results allow the creation of a general creep and stress relaxation function for a certain lifetime of the textile facade. The authors conducted creep and stress relaxation research on building enclosures made of textile materials.

Keywords:
textile facades, woven materials, nonlinear method, creep prediction, stress relaxation
