Abstract: Finite element simulations are used to investigate the mechanical behavior, including the detailed sequence of failure, of single‐and multilayer, fabric‐reinforced membrane systems under in‐plane load. In situ, such ...

Abstract: A theoretical formulation is developed for large‐strain analysis of reinforced, multilayer membranes that contain nonlinear, viscoelastic materials and are subjected to unidirectional, in‐plane loading. Regularity conditions, ...
