Abstract
An analysis of the finite bending of an inflated circular cylindrical membrane is presented. Wrinkling of the membrane is taken into account by using a relaxed energy derived from a strain energy function of Va rga type. First integrals of the equilibrium equations are obtained an d used to reduce the analysis to quadratures. The solutions are then u sed to study various features of the deformation and to generate the e quilibrium moment-curvature relations for three values of the inflatio n pressure.
