Chesnokov A. V.

The work of rectangular pneumatic envelopes is considered. The envelopes are subjected to non-uniform external loadings, which consist of symmetric and inverse-symmetric parts. The author offer the improved technique for obtaining geometrical parameters of envelope fragments. It is based on the method of least squares. Techniques for taking into account physical non-linear properties of envelope material and for calculating the value of internal air pressure are considered.
