Abstract

This article is a translation of Michael Sadowsky’s original paper “Theorie der elastisch biegsamen undehnbaren Bänder mit Anwendungen auf das Möbius’sche Band” in 3. internationaler Kongress für technische Mechanik, Stockholm, 1930. The translation is augmented by an Appendix containing an interpretation of the last section of Sadowsky’s original paper, including figures generated from recent numerical simulations.

Citations of this translation should refer also to Sadowsky’s original paper, as cited in the Abstract.
