| Summary |
In this paper, we propose a panel component for a roof finishing system of space structures, which consists of pre-stressed metal membrane and hardening foam-resin. The feature of this system is that an initial tensile force is introduced to the surface metal membrane, utilizing an expansion pressure of a form-resin under its chemical reaction process intentionally. In order to confirm a possibility of realization and fundamental behaviors of this system, we performed some experimentation of pouring urethane resin and static loading test on the small-scale model.
