EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL DEFLECTIONS AND NATURAL FREQUENCIES OFAN INFLATABLE FABRIC PLATE

Abstract

Static and vibration tests were performed on an inflatable square fabric plate supported on all edges. Lateral deflections and natural frequencies showed good agreement with calculations made using a linear small-deflection theory. (Author)
