Optimization parameters for a membrane polygonal body of revolution with zero meridional stress and its application to parachutes
A polygonal body of revolution consisting of discrete meridional members joined by regular polygons is optimized for maximum drag and drag coefficient. The meridional, or primary members, carryall of the radial loads and the membrane structure transfers applied pressure loads to the primary members....
