Abstract
-
The stresses occurring in the cloth of an opening parachute and at steady state are calculated. The method is based on assumed instantaneous and steady state shapes and related pressure distributions. It is general and may be applied to any type and size of canopy built out of solid cloth. The presented analysis is limited to canopies constructed of triangular gores, but can be extended to other gore patterns. A numerical calculation is made for the Solid Flat, Circular Parachute during the opening and at steady state.
