Abstract:

The general equations of equilibrium of a rotationally symmetric membrane undergoing arbitrary large deflections are derived. Static solutions for steadily rotating membranes are considered for the case when the final configuration of the membrane is known and for the case when the initial configuration is known. Methods of solution for both types of problems are indicated and several specific examples are worked out. Author
