Resumen

The new findings exhibit for the first time the nonlinear dynamic phenomena of spider web systems subject to large amplitude precursors stemming from extreme winds, large deformation, material imperfections, hostile climatic conditions and so on. This study enables new discoveries and insights by enhancing large deformable finite elements with energy method. The novel insights can be used (not limited to) as a reference for the analysis, design, inspection and maintenance of structural membranes, netting cables (or cable-like structures such as rail overhead conductors), tensegrity structures, soft tissues and soft matter, and other bio-inspired structures.
