| Summary: | Tensioned fabric structure with different surface form could be realized. Their variations as possible choice form of minimal surface for tensioned fabric structure have been studied. The form of used in TFS is Handkerchief Surface. Handkerchief Surface used in TFS because Handkerchief Surface is the form of minimal surface and Handkerchief Surface has not been studied by other researcher. Besides, no other work on Handkerchief Surface as idea in tensioned fabric structure has been found. The aim of the study is to propose converged shape of Handkerchief Surface with variable u=v=0.4 and u=v=1.0. The method used for Form-Finding is nonlinear analysis method. From the result, the surface of Handkerchief TFS model, u=v=0.4 and u=v=1.0 show the total warp and fill stress deviation is less than 0.01. The initial equilibrium shape of Handkerchief tensioned fabric structure model, u=v=0.4 and u=v=1.0 is corresponding to equal tension surface. Tensioned fabric structure in the form of Handikerchief Surface is a structurally viable surface form to be considered by engineer. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
