“…Correspondingly, [5] have conducted a study to overcome the inherit weakness of proposed computational strategies incorporating the form-finding of Catenoid, Helocoid, Scherk and Enneper minimal surface. Other forms of minimal surfaces such as Oval and Egg shape have been considered by [6], [7] and Moebius Strip by [8]- [10]. The form-finding of Enneper is taken another look by [11], [12] while other minimal surfaces such as Chen-Gackstatter, Monkey Saddle, Handkerchief, Bour and Thomsen have been studied by [13]- [18].…”

Form-finding analysis is carried out and presented for half-Costa tensioned membrane structure model in YZ-plane. There are three models presented, each with different center part of the half-Costa boundaries. Nonlinear analysis method is adopted for the form-finding analysis. Half-Costa tensioned membrane models in YZ-plane with different geometry have been found in a good agreement with least square error of total warp and fill stress deviation. Results obtained from this study would become a reference to select suitable parameters to increase the performance of sustainable tensioned membrane structure in the form of half-Costa in YZ-plane respected to their boundary condition. These resource efficient structures have the ability to prevent further damage to the environment hence these models presented are good selective forms for design engineer and architect to ponder on.

“…[3] adds that TMS has minimal site interruptions since it is fabricated in factories and has lower maintenance in comparison to glass. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] have studied form-finding in TMS in the surface of Catenoid, Helicoid, Enneper, Moebius Strip, Costa, half-Costa in XZ and YZ plane, Oval, Egg, Chen-Gackstatter, Monkey Saddle, Handkerchief, Bour's and Thomsen. However, half-Costa in YZ plane with different geometry have not studied yet.…”

This paper presents the computational form-finding analysis of half-Costa tensioned membrane structure model in YZ-plane with different boundaries. The computational form-finding analysis is carried out based on nonlinear analysis method. The tensioned membrane structure in the form of half-Costa models in YZ-plane with different geometry have been found to converge with least square error of total warp and fill stress deviation. The outcome of this paper can serve as a reference in selecting satisfactory parameters to allow the performance increase of tensioned membrane structure in the form of half-Costa in YZ-plane respected to their boundary condition. These models will be selective forms of tensioned membrane structure for design engineers and architect to ponder on as it is a resource efficient structure hence preventing further damage to the environment.

“…Applicability of the computational strategies proposed has been verified by form-finding carried out models of tensioned fabric structures by [5,6]. A few researchers have carried out form-finding using nonlinear analysis method known as Catenoid, Helicoid, Scherk, Enneper, Oval, Costa, Moebius Strip, Monkey Saddle and Chen-Gackstatter TFS models, respectively [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In this study, only form-finding using nonlinear analysis method of Handkerchief surface, u=v=0.2 and u=v=1.2 has been carried out.…”

Form-finding has to be carried out for tensioned fabric structure in order to determine the initial equilibrium shape under prescribed support condition and pre-stress pattern. Tensioned fabric structures are normally designed to be in the form of equal tensioned surface. Tensioned fabric structure is highly suited to be used for realizing the surfaces of complex or new forms. However, the research study on a new form as a tensioned fabric structure has not attracted much attention. Alternative source of inspiration of minimal surface which could be adopted as form for tensioned fabric structure is very crucial. The aim of this study is to investigate initial equilibrium shape of tensioned fabric structures in the form of Handkerchief surface, u=v=0.2 and u=v=1.2. Experimental form-finding using soap film model is frequently used to develop the possible form of uniformly stressed surfaces. Apart from that, soap film model also provides a means for checking the accuracy of computational form-finding results. In this study, soap film model is used to investigate surface form corresponding to boundary shape defined by mathematical equation for minimal surface. Computational form-finding using nonlinear analysis method has been used in this study. The study proposes an alternative architectural surface for architect and structural engineer to consider Handkerchief surface, u=v=0.2 and u=v=1.2 applied in tensioned fabric structure. The results on factors affecting initial equilibrium shape can serve as a reference for proper selection of surface parameter for achieving a structurally viable surface. Such in-sight will lead the improvement of rural basic infrastructure, economic gains, sustainability of built environment and green technology initiative.
