Space Frames with Multiple Stable Configurations
This paper is concerned with beamlike space frames that include a large number of bistable elements, and exploit the bistability of the elements to obtain structures with multiple stable configurations. By increasing the number of bistable elements, structures with a large number of different configurations can be designed. A particular attraction of this approach is that it produces structures...
متن کاملBi-stable Cylindrical Space Frames
This paper presents a novel kind of bi-stable structure: bi-stable space frames, based on a double-layer cylindrical architecture. An analytical method to carry out a preliminary assessment of the bi-stability of such space frames is introduced here and a series of bi-stable space frames found by this method are presented. Non-linear finite element simulations have been used to test one of the ...
متن کاملHysteresis and multiple stable configurations in a magnetic fluid system.
A magnetic liquid in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell is subjected to a vertical magnetic field. The width of the magnetic fluid finger is measured as a function of applied field and compared to a theoretical model. The theoretical model uses an energy minimization procedure and predicts a double energy minimum, hysteresis, and discontinuous transitions between a circle and a finger. The experimenta...
متن کاملStable Compactifications of Frames
In a classic paper, Smirnov [14] characterized the poset of compactifications of a completely regular space in terms of the proximities on the space. Later, Smyth [15] introduced the notion of a stable compactification of a T0-space and described them in terms of quasi-proximities on the space. Banaschewski [1] formulated Smirnov’s results in the pointfree setting, defining a compactification o...
متن کاملPerception of Space by Multiple Intrinsic Frames of Reference
It has been documented that when memorizing a physical space, the person's mental representation of that space is biased with distortion and segmentation. Two experiments reported here suggest that distortion and segmentation arise due to a hierarchical organization of the spatial representation. The spatial relations associated with salient landmarks are more strongly encoded and easier to rec...
