Form Finding of Sparse Structures with Continuum Topology Optimization
A continuum topology optimization methodology suitable for finding optimal forms of large-scale sparse structures is presented. Since the need to avoid long compressive spans can be critical in determining the optimal form of such structures, a formulation is used wherein the structure is modeled as a linear elastic continuum subjected to design loads, and optimized in form to maximize the mini...
متن کاملForm finding of twisted interlaced structures: a hybrid approach
Our study presents a set of form-finding procedures to explore curved structures made from interlaced panels. Interlacing introduces a particular coupling between assembly components which has to be formulated along with a pertinent flexible body model. We examine here a hybrid approach: panels are simulated a first time using an elastic rod model formulated within a constrained elastic energy ...
متن کاملA Marching Procedure for Form-finding for Tensegrity Structures
We give an algorithm for solving the form-finding problem, that is, for finding stable placements of a given tensegrity structure. The method starts with a known stable placement and alters edge lengths in a way that preserves the equilibrium equations. We then characterize the manifold to which classical tensegrity systems belong, which gives insight into the form-finding process. After descri...
متن کاملFinding function and form.
The ability to recreate Nature's molecules through chemical synthesis is undoubtedly one of the greatest triumphs of the human imagination. To date, thousands of natural products have been synthesized and targets that looked like an impossible task only recently, such as a single glycoform of erythropoietin, have been reached. An achievement that would have astonished researchers several decade...
متن کاملAlgebraic tensegrity form-finding
This paper concerns the form-finding problem for general and symmetric tensegrity structures with shape constraints. A number of different geometries are treated and several fundamental properties of tensegrity structures are identified that simplify the form-finding problem. The concept of a tensegrity invariance (similarity) transformation is defined and it is shown that tensegrity equilibriu...
