Abstract: Nonlinear membrane problems involving large finite strains are considered. It is found that explicit asymptotic solutions are possible for a rather large class of problems. Two distinct types of asymptotic solutions, roughly depending on whether the strain energy density function is dominated by ${I_1}$ or ${I_2}$, are found to exist.
