Lightweight inflatable structures, or Gossamer spacecraft, are very attractive in aerospace applications for several reasons. These structures pose difficult problems, however, in modeling and in control due to their special geometry, unique material properties and ultra flexible nature. The main objective for this past year has been focused on understanding the mechanics of a pressurized membrane. Such configurations are being considered by AFRL as part of their adaptive optics program. The objective then was to provide fundamental research having the potential to help AFRL in their adaptive optics pursuits. The following is a brief report of our activities over duration of this grant.
