Structural engineering

a form-finding method for cable nets and membranes that fixes force-to-length ratios so equilibrium shape follows from linear equations.

In structural engineering, force density method refers to a form-finding method for cable nets and membranes that fixes force-to-length ratios so equilibrium shape follows from linear equations. This meaning comes from Schek (1974) in Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering.[1]
