Thermal Distortion Analysis of Inflatable Antenna Structures Considering Inflation Gas

This paper addresses the static distortion and stress analysis of inflatable antenna structures subjected to a thermal load, which is a very important type of load experienced by such structures during service in orbit. Non-linear finite element analysis methods for inflatable structures were formul...
