MULTIPLICATIVE DECOMPOSITION BASED FDEM MODEL FOR MEMBRANE STRUCTURES

A finite strain large displacement model for membrane structures based on the combined finite- discrete element method (FDEM) has been developed. The model is implemented into the the open source FDEM package - Yfdem. The paper also presents benchmark tests and numerical results.
