Bending capacity of inflated mesh-reinforced-membrane beam
Abstract eng: In this paper, an inflated MRM beam was fabricated, theoretical and experimental analysis were carried out to study its bending capacity. Experimental results verified that an inflated MRM beam has higher load-carrying efficiency than a pristine membrane beam. The inflated MRM beam performed novel wrinkling characteristics obtained by VIC-3D technique. This provides a useful way to resist wrinkling for membrane structures. Theoretical analysis based on a Shell-Membrane Model was also validated by experiments.
