Abstract: Abstract Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) cushion structures with the capacities of aesthetical appearance, excellent insulation and high strength-to-weight ratio have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Conventional ETFE cushion structures need fundamental form finding and cutting… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Creep properties of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) foils are indispensable for assessing structural behavior of flat-patterning ETFE cushions that use creep strains to achieve desired forms. The understanding of corresponding structural form and force requires… read more here.
