Pneumatic air-inflated cushions are considered. The iteration technique for obtaining equilibrium pressure in their chambers is offered. It is based on the Broyden's method and uses the proposed function of cushion’s surface and the differential equation of equilibrium. The technique for obtaining the maximum load, which may be applied on a cushion, is proposed. The research of the influence of temperature variations on the behavior of pneumatic cushions is executed.
