Abstract
This paper presents detailed analysis of a novel concept on the formation and evolution of wrinkle pattern on a multilayer shell-membrane under the action of mechanical and thermal-mechanical loading. The double scale Fourier series is used to deduce the wrinkling equation of membrane structure. In this paper discusses the theoretical aspects of this process and carried out part of the numerical calculations. In particular: wrinkling analysis of square membrane with corner tensile loading. It contains: schematic loading condition on square membrane, membrane with shell elements and experimental analysis of square membrane with tensile loading. Also held stress analysis. In the next paper, the authors will consider a detailed analysis of the research.
