Introducing a Lightweight Structural Model via Simulation of Vernacular “Pa Tu Pa” Arch
Authors
Abstract:
The knowledge of Iranian vernacular structures is based on geometry, and there is a possibility of recreating such structural patterns aimed at producing movable structures. The purpose of this research was to utilize the patterns of vernacular structures to provide a lightweight structural model. The questions raised included how to create various forms based on the structural history of any regions, test their performance degrees, and propose a lightweight structure for them. To this aim, a simulation method was used to simulate "pa tu pa" arch structure via visual programming tools and "Grasshopper" plug-in in "Rhino Ceros" software. Then, to examine the suggested forms generated from the first phase, the structural analysis tools in "SAP2000" software were employed. Assuming various structural connections and examining four types of connections at the structural bases and members, the results indicated that a lightweight structure was feasible with rigid connections. Taking advantage of the mathematical-geometric logic of Iranian traditional structures can lead to production of forms that mark the history of traditional structures. In the current study, connection types were only investigated and parameters such as material types and construction methods can be studied in future research.

Model Checking PA-Processes
PA (Process algebra) is the name that has become common use to denote the algebra with a sequential and parallel operator (without communication), plus recursion. PA-processes subsume both Basic Parallel Processes (BPP) Chr93] and context-free processes (BPA). They are a simple model for innnite state concurrent systems. We show that the model checking problem for the branching time temporal lo...

We analyze the combination of online learning and semisupervised learning. Online learning is an approach to supervised machine learning, which is effective at processing a large amount of training data. Semi-supervised learning is employed when a large amount of unlabeled data is available. While both setting occurs frequently in real applications of machine learning, thus far, their theoretic...

Nanostructural evolution of II-VI semiconductors emerges as a hot research field because it offers a novel route for the synthesis of functional semiconductor nanomaterials. Here, we report a "top-down" process of structural evolution from two dimensional Cd(2)Se(2)(pa) hybrid structures to zero- or one- dimensional CdSe nanostructures. We firstly synthesized the Cd(2)Se(2)(pa) hybrid by a faci...

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
