Abstract
This article is a translation of Michael Sadowsky's original paper "Theorie der elastisch biegsamen undehnbaren Bänder mit Anwendungen auf das Möbiussche 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.
12 pages, 2 original figures, 2 supplementary figures, to appear in a special volume of the Journal of Elasticity entitled "The Mechanics of Ribbons and Möbius Bands", citations of this translation should refer also to Sadowsky's original paper, as cited in the Abstract
