Tensioned membrane

Acceptable response ranges are given in Chapter S. Use low response range values when tension membrane action is not present. Use high range values when tension membrane action is permitted and steel panel end connections arc properly designed. 

The metal building cladding will fail in flexure at a low overpressure unless girt spacings are low. Tensile membrane response is possible however, care must be paid to detailing to ensure that membrane response can be achieved. Tension membrane response can also be exhibited by girts and purlins. For this example problem, alt elements will be designed for flexure.

Tensioned membrane. A geotextile acts as a tensioned membrane when it is sandwiched between two materials having different pressures. The principle of using a geotextile is to even out the pressure difference by balancing with the tension of the geotextile.

The reciprocal tension membrane (RTM) refers to the function ofthe mobility of intracranial and intraspinal membranes, the pia, arachnoid, and dura. Understanding the development and the anatomy of the membranes helps illustrate their function (see Section X, Chapter 102). The intracranial membranes are intimately related to the fascia throughout the rest of the body.

We evaluated the energy of the system as function of for multiple values of e This energy has a minimum at a certain value, Access- As is decreased below this value, the contact between the membrane is peeled away from the particle, such that more of the particle surface is exposed to solvent. As A cass is increased above this value, the membrane is unable to further wrap the particle. Instead, the free (unadhered) portion of the membrane takes on increased curvature, in order to fit into the box dimensions. The conformation at A cas is taken as a representation of the equiUbrium state for a particle in contact with a large, low-tension membrane.
