Owing to the fact that effective properties of low‐density cellular solids heavily rely on their
underlying architecture, a variety of explicit and implicit techniques exists for designing …

A computational approach is proposed to cope with the assessment/design of arcuated
structures through funicular analysis. As investigated in the literature, the equilibrium of …

This research is taking the first steps toward applying a 2D dragonfly wing skeleton in the
design of an airplane wing using artificial intelligence. The work relates the 2D morphology …

In this paper, we introduce a structural form finding plugin called PolyFrame for the
Rhinoceros software. This plugin is developed based on the methods of 3D Graphic Statics …

This article extends the Vector-based Graphic Statics (VGS) computational framework to
design single-layer spatial (SLS) structures. It introduces a novel computational workflow …

This paper proposes a unified and entirely geometrical methodology for generating 2D and
3D force diagrams for given planar and spatial trusses in static equilibrium within the context …

Concepts from isotropic geometry, Timoshenko's shell theory, Airy stress functions and
Maxwell's reciprocal diagrams are combined in the design of plane-faced funicular …

This paper introduces cellular sheaf theory to graphical methods and reciprocal
constructions in structural engineering. The elementary mechanics and statics of trusses are …

The paper presents new results about the geometry of topological interlocking masonries
and some possibilities they present to build without formwork. Construction without the use …

This research bridges the gap between the numerical layout optimization method and the
geometry-based analysis and design method of graphic statics. The study connects the two …
