Theoretical Analysis of an Internally-Braced, Two-Dimensional Air Strut which is Partially Buckled
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
A theoretical analysis is presented for a two-dimensional air strut with walls consisting of thin membranes which are joined by many inextensible strings. The strut is deflected through large angles so than an appreciable portion of each membrane is buckled and lies along the solid plates which form the ends of the strut. Numerical solutions are obtained for two cases and, in particular, the resultant force on each end plate is determined.
