Minimum energy adaptive structures – All-In-One problem formulation

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a new All-In-One (AIO) implementation of an existing formulation to design adaptive structures through Total Energy Optimization (TEO). The method implemented in previous work is a nested optimization process, here named TEO-Nested. Num ...

A proof of equivalence of two force methods for active structural control

Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

This paper gives a proof of equivalence between two existing force methods (FM) for structural analysis: The Integrated Force Method (IFM) and a force method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of the equilibrium conditions here named as SVD-FM. Re ...

Optimum design of frame structures from a stock of reclaimed elements

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

This paper presents optimization methods to design frame structures from a stock of existing elements. These methods are relevant when reusing structural elements over multiple service lives. Reuse has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of bu ...

Vibration Suppression Through Variable Stiffness and Damping Structural Joints

Gennaro Senatore

This paper introduces a new semi-active strategy for vibration control of truss and frame structures equipped with variable stiffness and damping joints which consist of a shape memory polymer (SMP) core reinforced by an SMP-aramid composite skin. When the ...

Design of structures that adapt to loads through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures can modify their geometry and internal forces through sensing and mechanical actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous work has shown that well-conceived adaptive design strategies achieve subst ...

Design and control of a prototype structure that adapts to loading through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Apoorv Srivastava

This paper reports on experimental testing that was carried out on a prototype adaptive structure designed to counteract the effect of loading through controlled large shape changes. The prototype is 6.6 m truss equipped with 12 linear actuators which has ...

Environmental impact minimization of reticular structures made of reused and new elements through Life Cycle Assessment and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Niels De Temmerman

An important share of building environmental impacts is embodied in load-bearing structures because of their large material mass and energy-intensive fabrication process. To reduce substantially material consumption and waste caused by the construction ind ...

Extended Integrated Force Method for the analysis of prestress-stable statically and kinematically indeterminate structures

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a new force method to predict the structural response of statically and kinematically indeterminate systems that can be stabilized through prestress, i.e. prestress-stable structures. This new force method, here named Extended Integrate ...

Experimental Testing of a Small-Scale Truss Beam That Adapts to Loads Through Large Shape Changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures have the ability to modify their shape and internal forces through sensing and actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous studies have shown that substantial whole-life energy savings with respec ...

Form follows availability - Designing structures through reuse

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

This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...
