An analytical model for the deflection of a symmetric, spindle shaped Tensairity girder
under homogenous load is proposed which can be solved analytically. The results are
compared to FEM predictions for a specific Tensairity girder. Further simplifications of the
analytical solution lead to a simple relation for the deflection of the Tensairity girder, which
reveals the importance of the elasticity of the chords relative to the air pressure in the
inflated hull. Such simple models are crucial to understand the basic principles of
Tensairity and provide the engineer with easy rules to estimate the load-deflection
behaviour of this new light weight structure.
