Analytical Solutions for Catenary Domes
A new concept for designing a dome is introduced. The dome is inverted from a basket made of catenary strips, thereby maintaining the optimal properties of the catenary. Four kinds of domes are considered: the polygonal catenary dome, the catenary dome of uniform thickness, the catenary dome of uniform stress, and a dome supporting a uniform platform. Given the height and width of the dome, the solutions are in closed form and are unique.
