dc.description.abstract 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. en_EN
