P2_3 A Tapered Tower
2009
This paper evaluates the possibility of building a space elevator from a mechanical standpoint; calculating the yield stress and required density of a homogeneous material that such a structure would ideally need. It is concluded that a tapered tower made from carbon nanotubes may potentially be feasible.
