Abstract
A new formulation is presented for equilibrium shape analysis of cable networks considering geometrical and material non‐linearities. Friction between cables and joint devices is also considered. The second‐order cone programming (SOCP) problem which has the same solution as that of minimization of total potential energy is solved to obtain the equilibrium configuration. The optimality conditions are derived to verify that the solution satisfies equilibrium conditions and friction laws. Since no assumption on stress state is needed in the proposed method, no process of trial and error is involved. No effort is required to develop any analysis software because SOCP can be solved by using the well‐developed software based on the interior‐point method. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
