The deformation of a circular membrane during a bulge test is considered as resulting from the superposition of a main, large displacement field, having a simple analytical form, on one hand, and of an additional, small displacement field, on the other. The numerical problem pertaining to the determination of the additional displacements is posed and solved. Reasonably accurate results are obtained with a restricted amount of computation.
