Structural Membranes 2009
The fourth conference on “Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures” (Structural Membranes 2009) will be organised on 5-7 October 2009 in Stuttgart, Germany.
The objectives of STRUCTURAL MEMBRANES 2009 are to collect and disseminate state-of-the-art research and technology for design, analysis, construction and maintenance of textile and inflatable structures. The conference will address both the theoretical bases for structural analysis and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation. A significant part of the conference will be devoted to discuss advances in new textile composites for applications in membrane and inflatable structures, as well as in innovative design, construction and maintenance procedures.
In summary, Structural Membranes 2009 aims to be a forum for discussing recent progress and identifying future research directions in the field of textile composites and inflatable structures.
The conference topics will include:
Design Methods, Numerical Methods for Structural Analysis, New Membrane Materials, Testing Procedures, Manufacturing, Construction Methods, Maintenance Techniques, Energetic Aspects, Climate Impact and Environmental Aspects
· Pressure Management · Adaptivity
· Applications: membrane roofs and covers, sails, inflatable pavilions and buildings, airships, airspace structures, inflatable antennas, high altitude platforms, furniture, bio-membranes, textiles for clothes, etc.

Structural Membranes 2005
Textile composites and inflatable structures are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of applications in - among many other fields - civil engineering, architecture and aerospace engineering. Typical examples include membrane roofs and covers, sails, inflatable buildings and pavilions, airships, inflatable furniture, airspace structures etc.
The objectives of STRUCTURAL MEMBRANES 2005 are to collect and disseminate state-of-the-art research and technology for design, analysis, construction and maintenance of textile and inflatable structures.
The ability to provide numerical simulations for increasingly complex membrane and inflatable structures is advancing rapidly due to computer hardware development and the improved maturity of computational procedures for nonlinear structural systems. Significant progress has been made in the formulation of finite element methods for static and dynamic problems, complex constitutive material behaviour, coupled aero-elastic analysis etc. The conference will address both the theoretical bases for structural analysis and the numerical necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation.
A significant part of the conference will be devoted to discuss advances in new textile composites for applications in membrane and inflatable structures, as well as in innovative design, construction and maintenance procedures.
Sessions related to specific topics of the conference will be introduced by a keynote lecture in the respective field. These keynote lectures will be complemented by invited sessions organised by recognised experts in targeted research and applied areas, as well as by contributed papers.

Textile Roofs 2005
In addition to a comprehensive programme of lectures presented in English by key figures from the membrane structure industry and academia, opportunity for the study and hands-on development of practical case-studies in an informal tutorial environment will be provided.
During the afternoons the hands-on workshops will be run with opportunities for both computational and physical modelling. In parallel to this practical activity, specialised lectures will be presented on state-of-the-art topics for the more advanced participants. These will include algorithmic approaches, computational algorithm theory and textile technology as well as corporate presentations from prominent lightweight structure firms.
On Thursday evening the special guest lecture will be presented.

IASS 2005
The symposium aims at offering opportunities to debate some special and actual topics in the field of shells and spatial structures in order to enhance their availability towards high performances.
Accurate theoretical and practical motivations within the engineering approach are expected in the field of analysis, design and construction technique valuation and maintenance of this structural family.
The symposium addresses to theoreticians, designers and practitioners so as to debate some up to date items concerning the structural engineering approach in the wide perspective of the new millennium.
