Hemp Cables, a Sustainable Alternative to Harmonic Steel for Cable Nets

open access: yesResources, 2018
Recent developments in the field of materials engineering have allowed for the use of natural materials for common structural elements, instead of traditional materials, such as steel or concrete.

A Dynamic Analysis of Randomly Oriented Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotubes/Fiber-Reinforced Composite Laminated Shells with Different Geometries

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The present study demonstrates the free vibration behavior of composite laminated shells reinforced by both randomly oriented single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and functionally graded fibers.

APPLICATION OF RULED SURFACES IN FREEFORM AND GEAR METROLOGY

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2021
An application of two ruled surfaces (i.e., surfaces generated by a motion of a straight line), a surface of hyperbolic paraboloid and a tangent surface of a cylindrical helix in freeform and gear metrology is introduced in this paper. Both surfaces have

Invariant and smooth limit of discrete geometry folded from bistable origami leading to multistable metasurfaces

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The mechanisms behind origami having saddle shapes made from concentrically pleated squares remain elusive. Here, the authors connect geometry and mechanics to show that this type of origami is invariantly a hyperbolic paraboloid that exhibits ...

Contour Measurement of Object with Arbitrary Surface Using Two-Dimensional Shearography with Source Displacement

open access: yesOptics, 2022
A two-dimensional (2D) shearography with source displacement is proposed to measure object contours. Using a dual-shear shearographic setup with two movable laser sources, the full-field slopes along a pair of orthogonal shear directions were obtained ...

Integrated Parametric Shaping of Curvilinear Steel Bar Structures of Canopy Roofs

open access: yesBuildings, 2019
Shaping building objects is conditioned by many interrelated factors, both architectural and structural. Modern tools for shaping structures working in the environment of Rhinoceros 3D such as Grasshopper and Karamba 3D enable algorithmic-aided shaping ...

Thermochemistry of the Smallest Hyperbolic Paraboloid Hydrocarbon: A High-Level Quantum Chemical Perspective

open access: yesC, 2023
[5.5.5.5]hexaene is a [12]annulene ring with a symmetrically bound carbon atom in its center. This is the smallest hydrocarbon with a hyperbolic paraboloid shape.

Hyperbolic Paraboloid Tensile Structure—Numerical CFD Simulation of Wind Flow in RWIND Software

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Tensile membrane structures combine a prestressed roofing envelope material and supporting elements. To design these structures, there is a set of recommendations in the European Design Guide for Tensile Surface Structures and some other national ...

The Markham Moor Papilio – A Picturesque Commentary [PDF]

open access: yesThe Open Arts Journal, 2014
This commentary on a little-known yet remarkable structure along the A1, originally built as a roadside petrol station with a canopy in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid, demonstrates the affinity between the architecture of pavilions on the one hand ...
