Large transformations with moderate strains of tensile membrane structures
Beatini, Valentina; Carfagni, Gianni Royer (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2017)Using a classical non-linear theory, we analytically investigate possible ways for transforming the shape of a curved elastic membrane while keeping it tensioned and moderately strained. This is a critical issue because, ... -
A regularized non-smooth contact dynamics approach for architectural masonry structures
Beatini, Valentina; Royer-Carfagni, Gianni; Tasora, Alessandro (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND, 2017)A Non-Smooth Contact Dynamic (NSCD) formulation is used to analyze complex assemblies of rigid blocks, representative of real masonry structures. A model of associative friction sliding is proposed, expressed through a ... -
The role of frictional contact of constituent blocks on the stability of masonry domes
Beatini, Valentina; Royer-Carfagni, Gianni; Tasora, Alessandro (ROYAL SOC, 6-9 CARLTON HOUSE TERRACE, LONDON SW1Y 5AG, ENGLAND, 2018)The observation of old construction works confirms that masonry domes can withstand tensile hoop stresses, at least up to a certain level. Here, such tensile resistance, rather than a priori assumed as a property of the ... -
Soap film analogy for anisotropically stretched membranes and cable nets
Beatini, Valentina; Royer-Carfagni, Gianni (SPRINGERONE NEW YORK PLAZA, SUITE 4600 , NEW YORK, NY 10004, UNITED STATES, 2017)Analogical physical models are a preferred technique to intuitively grasp complex engineering problems. It is well-known that the equilibrium minimal-surface configuration of membranes under equibiaxial tension can be ... -
Symmetry-Based Transformable and Foldable Plate Structures
Beatini, Valentina (ASMETWO PARK AVE, NEW YORK, NY 10016-5990, 2017)This paper presents a novel family of modular flat-foldable rigid plate structures composed by assemblies of 4R-linkages. First, in the field of foldable plates, the proposed system is characterized by being not only ...
