Modern timber design approaches for traditional Japanese architecture: analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches for the Nuki joint

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This work fully investigates a specific timber joinery connection via experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. The selected joint is the Nuki joint: a mortised column with through-beam tenon. The experimental approach takes advantage of digital fab ...

Rapid Deployment of Curved Surfaces via Programmable Auxetics

Mark Pauly, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

Deployable structures are physical mechanisms that can easily transition between two or more geometric configurations; such structures enable industrial, scientific, and consumer applications at a wide variety of scales. This paper develops novel deployabl ...

ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2018

Substantial progress and development in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been realised during the last decade but have hardly been implemented on AM systems due to old numerical solutions still used by the AM digital thread, for instance STL ( ...

Reconsidering traditional timber joinery for sustainable structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Timber construction plays an important role in architectural history, in modern construction methods and in sustainable design, for which wood-only joinery techniques have been used for centuries. Traditional joinery typologies are the product of successiv ...

Note on the Rate and Energy Efficiency Limits for Additive Manufacturing

Michael Hausmann, Sheng Jiang

We review the process rates and energy intensities of various additive processing technologies and focus on recent progress in improving these metrics for laser powder bed fusion processing of metals, and filament and pellet extrusion processing of polymer ...

A 3D Cutting Method for Integral 1DOF Multiple-Tab-and-Slot Joints for Timber Plates, using 5-axis CNC Cutting Technology

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) uses features in the form of components for their connection. In addition to the transfer of forces, locator features are used as integral assembly guides. Prismatic, single-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) joints only allow fo ...

Integral Mechanical Attachment for Timber Folded Plate Structures

Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller

Timber folded plate Structures combine the advantages of timber as a construction material, such as its carbon-dioxide storage, low energy production and favorable weight-to-strength ratio, with the structural efficiency and elegance of folded surface stru ...
