Design of Truss Structures Through Reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Joseph Jean François Desruelle

This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...

Optimum Frame Design with Reused Stock Elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This paper presents optimization methods for the synthesis of frame structures from a stock of reused elements. Reusing structural elements over multiple service lives has the potential to reduce the environmental impacts of building structures. This is be ...

Grammar-based generation of trusses within non-convex domains

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

A force-driven generative grammar rule is proposed as a design exploration method for planar networks in static equilibrium within non-convex domains. The aim is to enrich the catalog of unconventional structural typologies. Empty or partial networks in eq ...

Phase Changing Materials-Based Variable-Stiffness Tensegrity Structures

Dario Floreano, Jun Shintake, Davide Zappetti

Soft robots leverage deformable bodies to achieve different types of locomotion, improve transportability, and safely navigate cluttered environments. In this context, variable-stiffness structures provide soft robots with additional properties, such as th ...

Optimum Truss Design with Reused Stock Elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Joseph Jean François Desruelle

This paper proposes the application of optimization techniques to design reticular structures made from a stock of reused elements. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to reduce the enviro ...

Joint Friction during Deployment of a Near-Full-Scale Tensegrity Footbridge

Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz

Most deployable structures, such as operable roofs and masts, move over one degree of freedom. This paper describes a structure that involves loosely coupled movement over several degrees of freedom. Analysis models of these structures are typically inaccu ...

Improving the binding affinity of in-vitro-evolved cyclic peptides by inserting atoms into the macrocycle backbone

Christian Heinis, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Simon Jan Middendorp

Cyclic peptides binding to targets of interest can be generated efficiently with powerful in vitro display techniques, such as phage display or mRNA display. The cyclic peptide libraries screened with these methods are generated by altering in a combinator ...

Active control for mid-span connection of a deployable tensegrity footbridge

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

Tensegrity structures are spatial self-stressed pin jointed structures where compression components (struts) are surrounded by tension elements. This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connec ...
