This paper develops the displacement field for a circular membrane which is statically loaded by gravity acting in its plane. Coupled to the displacements are the stress and strain distributions. The solution is applicable to the modeling of next generation lithographic masks, ion-beam projection lithography masks in particular. [S0021-8936(00)00803-5]
