Structural Optimization of Free-Form Grid Shells
In the 21 st century, as free-form design gains popularity, free-form grid shells are becoming a universal structural solution, enabling merger of structure and façade into a single layer – a skin [1]. This paper shows some of the results of a research project concerned with the optimization of grid structures over some predefined free form shape, with the goal of generating a stable and static...
متن کاملStructural Optimization and Form-finding of Cylindrical Shells for Targeted Elastic Postbuckling Response
This paper presents a finite element based numerical study on controlling the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells under axial compression. With the increasing interest of various disciplines for harnessing elastic instabilities in materials and mechanical systems, the postbuckling behavior of thin-walled cylindrical shells may have a new role to design materials and structur...
متن کاملSolid Free Form Design for Structural Optimization
Most of the work in the field of topology optimization is concentrated on using sensitivity analysis and optimality criteria methods that need explicit formulation. The design systems are often hard-coded for a specific problem with specialized optimization and FEM routines. This paper presents a work that uses a system approach to solid free form design. It attempts to develop a general topolo...
متن کاملShape Optimization of Free-form Shells Using Invariants of Parametric Surface
A new approach is proposed for shape optimization of shells, where the requirements on geometrical properties, constructability, and mechanical performance are simultaneously considered in the problem formulation. The surface shape is modeled using a triangular Bézier patch to reduce the number of design variables, while the ability of generating moderately complex shape is maintained. The stra...
متن کاملNovel 3-D free-form surface profilometry for reverse engineering
This article proposes an innovative 3-D surface contouring approach for automatic and accurate free-form surface reconstruction using a sensor integration concept. The study addresses a critical problem in accurate measurement of free-form surfaces by developing an automatic reconstruction approach. Unacceptable measuring accuracy issues are mainly due to the errors arising from the use of inad...
