FEM-BEM coupling in the membrane structure-air interaction problem

Ryszard Sygulski
This paper deals with the interaction problems between the lightweight membrane structure and surrounding air. The coupling of FEM and BEM is described and applied to analysis of aerodynamics of membrane structures. Three methods of FEM-BEM coupling are presented.
Keywords: finite element method; boundary element method; membrane structure
