Description
Summary:This paper presents a comprehensive review of the diverse approaches employed to study dynamic responses of gossamer membrane structures for space applications. The primary aim of the current review article is to explore the proposals/attempts made in the literature to understand the vibration, wrinkling, and shape control phenomena of these structures using analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches. This review delves into understanding the impact of various parameters/factors such as membrane thickness, aspect ratio, geometric and material properties, aspect ratio, types of load, load ratio, boundary conditions, air added mass, inflation pressure, type of actuators, and their placements etc. on the behavior of membrane structures.
