Numerical computation of the deployment of a folded inflatable tube
Résumé
This work deals with the numerical simulation of the deployment of a folded inflatable structure subjected to an internal pressure. The computation is performed by means of the finite element method as opposed to most of other works which used the control volume method. During the deployment process, self contact can occur at some portions of the boundary where contact force play a crucial role to deploy the structure. Contact problem will be treated by making use of a new weighted residual principle.
