“…Wong also adopted an inflator originally designed to simulate the inflation of automobile airbags [16][17][18]. The results reported by Wong, 2013 [14] matched reasonably well the experimental observations reported in [10,11,13] and provided a starting point that can be used as a reference for simulating similar inflatable structures installed in other tunnel configurations.…”

“…Experimental investigations of the initial deployment of large-scale structures showed that the initial shape achieved by the inflatable at the end of the initial deployment and inflation at low pressure is critical for maximizing the sealing capacity [13]. The presence of gaps in the contact between the inflatable and the inner tunnel surfaces not only reduces the frictional capacity to remain stable when subject to the external pressure but also increases the sources and amount of leakage that the inflatable is meant to contain [13].…”
