Analytical solution of the bending of a bi-convex boom
This paper derives closed-form solutions for the local deformation of a bi-convex boom under circular bending, and the resulting strain energy and self-extending force. Convex tapes and bi-convex booms that consists of a pair of convex tapes can be stored into a small volume and have high specific r...
