[ES] Este trabajo aborda el análisis del equilibrio de una membrana con bordes rígidos y cables de borde para la fase de pretensado. La idea de utilizar las membranas en aplicaciones como las pasarelas, una nueva tecnología que está siendo desarrollada en España, implica niveles más altos de responsabilidad y de esfuerzos, requiriendo así un análisis estructural ajustado. La membrana y sus bordes se identifican, respectivamente, a una superficie con curvatura de Gauss negativa y a curvas cuya curvatura depende de las características estructurales de los bordes. El equilibrio se expresa mediante problemas de contorno con ecuaciones en derivadas parciales, en términos de la forma de la membrana y de su tensor de esfuerzos, así como de la forma y las cargas de los bordes. En particular, el equilibrio asociado a un cable de borde lleva a una condición de frontera muy singular que dificulta un tanto el análisis. A partir de ello, caben dos enfoques complementarios, llamados problema directo y problema dual. Se definen y analizan ambos problemas de contorno, estudiando sus principales aspectos cualitativos. Asimismo, con el objetivo de obtener resultados prácticos, se propone un procedimiento general de resolución numérica para el problema directo.
[EN] This paper presents the equilibrium analysis of a membrane with rigid and cable boundaries for the so called prestressing phase. The idea of using membranes in Civil Engineering applications such as footbridges, a new technology being developed in Spain, implies higher structural responsibility and more accurate analysis procedure. The membrane and its boundary are respectively identified to a regular and negative gaussian curvature surface and a set of regular curves whose curvature depends on the structural elements, rigid or cable. Equilibrium is directly expressed by means of boundary differential problems, in terms of the membrane shape and its stress tensor. We must outline that membrane-cable interface equilibrium leads to take into account a singular condition that makes the problem more difficult. Therefore, starting from the equilibrium equations, two dual problems can be considered namely direct problem and dual problem. Both problems will be defined and analyzed, studying their principal qualitative aspects. Particularly, for the direct problem a numerical resolution procedure is proposed, in order to obtain practical results.
