Siéfert, Emmanuel. „Inflating to shape : from soft architectured elastomers to patterned fabric sheets“. Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUS018.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn this thesis at the interface between geometry and mechanics, we aim at developing, studying and programming slender morphing inflatables structures. A first strategy consists in manufacturing elastomeric plates embedding a network of channels, which expand, when inflated, mainly perpendicular to their local orientation, similarly to simple elastic tubes. Playing with both the orientation and density of channels, we control the direction and intensity of the in-plane homogenized ``growth", in general incompatible with a flat geometry. The structure spontaneously buckles and adopts a shape which minimizes its elastic energy. For very thin slender bodies, this reduces to follow the target metric induced by inflation. We then study the inflation of structures made of two superimposed inextensible thin sheets, sealed together along a specific line network. Starting with flat curved ribbons, we observe and rationalize the surprising overcurvature upon inflation by maximizing the inner volume given the inextensibility constraint. We finally extend our investigation to two-dimensional structures and control the in-plane contraction upon inflation, which occurs perpendicular to the seam?s direction. We program the morphing of such stiff inflatable structures and investigate their mechanics
Glacet, Arthur. „Study of quasi-periodic architectured materials : Vibrations, dynamic fracture and homogenization“. Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSEI062/document.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleQuasi periodic (QP) structures have shown peculiar properties in the atomistic domain, especially the vibrational one. It could be interesting to be able to transpose these properties in macroscopic meta-materials. Quasi periodic 2D beam lattices are studied in this thesis due to the simplicity of the Euler Bernoulli finite element (FE) model. These beam lattices can easily be produced by additive manufacturing or by laser cutting. It is possible to vary the beam slenderness (i.e the ratio of height over length) that is a interesting parameter to modify the mechanical response of the lattice. Using finite element method, the influence of the beam slenderness over the vibration behavior of the QP beam lattices will be studied. The Kernel Polynomial numerical Method (KPM) is successfully adapted from molecular dynamics simulations in order to study vibrational modes of FE beam lattices without having to fully diagonalize the dynamical matrix. The QP lattices show similar properties as their atomic counterpart e.g mode localization over sub-stuctures and hierarchical dispersion relation. The fracture behavior is also studied, as the special symmetries allowed by the quasi periodicity could result in beam lattices without weak planes for crack propagation. It was proved to be true from static FE simulations with a brittle strain energy breaking criterion. Static simulations were not enough and do not grasp the complex dynamical phenomena taking place in brittle fracture. A dynamic crack propagation model was thus developed. The vibrational properties of quasi periodic structures could also have an impact on the dynamic crack propagation. Several simulations are run in order to study the impact of the slenderness on the energy dissipated by fracture of QP lattices. Finally, a coarse graining method (CG) was developed to identify a continuous Cosserat medium at different scales from the FE beam model. This CG method allows to identify, density, strain, stress and elastic moduli of an equivalent continuous Cosserat. This allows a better understanding of the role of previously identified characteristic sub structures

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe problematic of heat storage is important in the present context. One of the solutions is to use phase change materials (PCM). Nevertheless their thermal properties are poors and a conductive substracte must absolutely be used in order to maximise the yield of theses systems.The purposes of this PhD are the physics phenomena implementation understanding and characterization, and the optimization of architectured structures for heat storage systems. A dual approach was adopted both experimental and numerical on simple PCM reception structures (fins) and on more complex ones (open foams). We analyzed influences of geometrical parameters (system lenght and porosity, thickness and space betweens fins, cellfoam size) from reception structure, its constituent material and its orientation. Experimental results support well with numerical simulations. This permits to pursue a more systematical study about analyzed parameters, and notably to identify in which cases natural convection has to be taken into account. Finally, from these results, we developped a tool which permits to optimize architectured structures for a defined bill of specifications

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCartographers have early realized that it is impossible to draw a flat map of the Earth without distorting continents. Carl Gauss later generalized this geometrical constrain in his seminal Theorema Egregium. Can we invert the configuration and obtain 3D shapes by changing local distances (ie, metrics) in an initially flat plate? This strategy is widely used in Nature: leaves or petals may develop into very complex shapes through differential growth. Nevertheless, imposing metrics is not enough to define the geometry of a surface and controlling local bending is necessary to select between different isometric shapes. In this thesis, we address shape morphing through three different strategies. From an engineering point of view, metric changes can be imposed by inflating channels embedded in a polymeric plate or in between to pieces of fabric as it induces extension or contraction along director lines. We first show how a zigzag meso-structure brings an extra degree of freedom in the design space to program complex 3D structures. A second chapter is dedicated to the control of local bending (in addition to metrics) by designing channels of non-symmetric cross-section. In addition to bending ribbons or self-folding origami structures, different isometric shapes can be designed with this versatile technique. In a third chapter we finally show how bending the facets in curved fold origami can be harvested to deploy efficiently 3D structures

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleShape optimization methods are promising methods and are gradually becoming industrialized. They provide the ability to automatically design structures with optimal behavior. They are outstanding tools for exploration and design of new materials.We use these methods to generate architectured multi-phased materials with prescribed thermoelastic properties. We first propose several solutions and we classify them by the mechanisms they rely on in order to control the effective properties. We also propose to evaluate the influence of an interface with a gradient of properties on the obtained architectures.Eventually we focus on the plausible manufacturing solution to produce our architectured materials. In this context, additive manufacturing methods (often considered as the support of an incoming industrial revolution) is our main option. We introduce several strategies to circumvent some limitations and side effects of these manufacturing methods during optimization process. We particularly focus on Fiber Deposition Molding, which induce an important mechanical anisotropy in processed parts. Then we consider the problem of overhangings features in design and propose a way to handle them prior to additive manufacturing using a mechanical criteria.Finally we take into account geometrical non linearities in optimization process. We highlight the pros and cons of this new modeling by presenting several applications of non linear actuators design

Its lack of representativeness of the junction zones of the beams (the vertices) limits its use. Nevertheless, a local stiffening at the vertices, studied by a numerical design of experiment, greatly improved the modeling

Whole life cycle emissions of buildings include not only operational carbon due to their use phase, but also embodied carbon due to the rest of their life cycle: material extraction, transport to the site, construction, and demolition. With ongoing population growth and increasing urbanization, decreasing immediate and irreversible embodied carbon emissions is imperative. With feedback from a wide range of stakeholders - architects, structural engineers, policy makers, rating-scheme developers, this research presents an integrated assessment approach to compare embodied life cycle impacts of building structures. Existing literature indicates that there is an urgent need for benchmarking the embodied carbon of building structures. To remediate this, a rigorous and transparent methodology is presented on multiple scales. On the material scale, a comparative analysis defines reliable Embodied Carbon Coefficients (ECC, expressed in kgCO2e/kg) for the structural materials concrete, steel, and timber. On the structural scale, data analysis evaluates the Structural Material Quantities (SMQ, expressed in kg/m²) and the embodied carbon for existing building structures (expressed in kgCO2e/m²). An interactive database of building projects is created in close collaboration with leading structural design firms worldwide. Results show that typical buildings range between 200 and 550 kgCO2e/m² on average, but these results can vary widely dependent on structural systems, height, size, etc. On the urban scale, an urban modeling method to simulate the embodied carbon of neighborhoods is proposed and applied to a Middle Eastern case study. A series of extreme low carbon case studies are analyzed. Results demonstrate that a novel design approach can lead to buildings with an embodied carbon as low as 30 kgCO2e/m² which is an order of magnitude lower than conventional building structures today. Two pathways are implemented to lower the embodied carbon of structures: choosing low carbon materials (low ECC) and optimizing the structural efficiency of buildings (low SMQ). This research recommends new pathways for low carbon structural design, crucial for lowering carbon emissions in the built environment.

Architecturally exposed structural steel, AESS, is a unique member designation used in contract documents to describe steel members designed according to stringent provisions as to be completely exposed in close proximity to the human eye after the structure is completed, rather than concealed from view. These members are often used to convey architectural art or expression, and have a distinctive beauty that attracts the eye. The requirements for AESS members are much more stringent than those for typical structural steel members, and therefore is more controversial as to whether it is worth the extra attention it requires. The purpose of this report is to examine the design, detailing, fabrication and execution of architecturally exposed structural steel. This is done by examining what contributes to each of these stages from design to field erection. Much of this report is based on guides and sample specification by various sources, including the Structural Engineers Association of Colorado (SEAC), Rocky Mountain Steel Construction Association (RMSCA), and the AISC 303-10 Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges (American Institute of Steel Construction Committee on the Code of Standard Practice, 2010) in addition to other sources. The conglomeration and in-depth review of this information provides the Structural Engineer, Architect, Fabricator and Owner an enhanced understanding and knowledge of AESS, as to make better decisions throughout its use.

All architecture is the interplay between structure, surface and ornament. Traditionally, ornament adorned structure thereby giving it its meaning. A society with its intellectual foundations resting in faith or the abstract emphasized the ornament over the structure. The growth of Rationalism and the substitution of the empirical for the abstract necessarily caused a reordering of ornament and structure. Enabled by technology, structure subsumed ornament. The new architecture was not designed as per canons, rather, new methods for design developed parallel to the technology which enabled its construction. The new architecture, supported by a load bearing skeletal structure represents a turning point in the history of building. The wall was dissolved and replaced by a skeletal structure. The structural members were not covered, rather, their exposure was a conscious act. They served to articulate the resulting architecture which was markedly spatial and expressive. Architecture was no longer confined by stylistic rules. New architecture reconciling realities of how it IS conceived and constructed finds meaning in and of itself. As a result, the conceiving and building of architecture factors into the architectural process. The reordering of the architectural elements of structure and ornament is indicative of the evolution of the intellectual process. Structure, made visible in architecture graphically represents the · thoughts, values and intents of its builders. Architecture in which structure subsumes ornament, is more reflective of the thoughts values and intents of its builders.

This thesis has the purpose of describing the meaning and applications of deployable structures (making emphasis in the scissor-hinged and sliding mechanisms.) and the development of new geometries, details, and mechanisms that make these systems buildable and useful for architectural applications. A deployable structure is one that can be transformed, with the addition of an energy input, from a closed stage or compact configuration to a predetermined, stable expanded form. Deployable structures are suitable in response to the following needs: a- A situation in which there is a need to create enclosed or protected space for a short period of time and then move that space to another location for erection or storage. b- Difficult access places, and/or lack of labor. c- Special applications equipment and shelters for special equipment which can not be transported in full open size and needs to be erected in a very quick way. d- Need to enclose space due to variable weather conditions. e- Situations of high risk with elevated labor costs, hostile environments, costly transportation. f- Construction aid. g- As a construction method There are many mechanisms which fall into the category of deployable structures, but we can group them into two general categories: A) Struts Structures : scissor-hinged, tensile, and sliding mechanisms, etc. B) Surface Structures : folded, inflatable, telescopic, etc. The general characteristic of group A is that these structures are made out of struts which commonly work as compression, tension or bending components connected by joints or hinges. In Group B stresses are carried by surfaces. In some, cases a continuous surface carries only tension forces like, in pressurized or inflatable construction; other structures are made out of small surfaces or planes joined together by some usually flexible means of forming a continuous structure. Deployability implies an extra cost over an assembly structure due to more sophisticated, expensive, movable connections, locking mechanisms, and deployment mechanisms. This extra cost has to be balanced by the structure's greater potential for adaptability, mobility, and labor saving construction.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis research proposes a virtual environment as a device for morphological representation of luminous ambiances generated by an adaptive and dynamic structure, linking the relationship between the outside and inside at the stage of architectural conception. This developed tool called DARMIN « Daylight Adaptive aRchitecture Modeling INterface », becomes an exploratory inductor within the creative process through its interactive system. The designer, in typologically formal exploration phase, exploits the potential and qualities of architectural space that luminous ambiances harbors. In this way, the proposed research offers the possibility of the emergence of new complex morphological responses supporting the process of design. It also allows designers to experiment with a wide range of possible solutions in a virtual laboratory, controlled design environment that enhances the creativity of the architect. Thus, the presented research is particularly interested in showing the potential of adaptive architectural structure that quantitatively and qualitatively improves the experience of internal and external space through the dynamic nature of the luminous ambiances.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThough a majority of current processor architectures relies on shared, cache-coherent memory, current prototypes that integrate large amounts of cores, connected through a message-passing substrate, indicate that architectures of the near future may have these characteristics. Either of those tendencies requires that processes execute in parallel, making concurrent programming a necessary tool. The inherent difficulty of reasoning about concurrency, however, may make the new processor architectures hard to program. In order to deal with issues such as this, we explore approaches for providing ease of programmability. We propose WFR-TM, an approach based on transactional memory (TM), which is a concurrent programming paradigm that employs transactions in order to synchronize the access to shared data. A transaction may either commit, making its updates visible, or abort, discarding its updates. WFR-TM combines desirable characteristics of pessimistic and optimistic TM. In a pessimistic TM, no transaction ever aborts; however, in order to achieve that, existing TM algorithms employ locks in order to execute update transactions sequentially, decreasing the degree of achieved parallelism. Optimistic TMs execute all transactions concurrently but commit them only if they have encountered no conflict during their execution. WFR-TM provides read-only transactions that are wait-free, without ever executing expensive synchronization operations (like CAS, LL/SC, etc), or sacrificing the parallelism between update transactions. We further present Dense, a concurrent graph implementation. Graphs are versatile data structures that allow the implementation of a variety of applications. However, multi-process applications that rely on graphs still largely use a sequential implementation. We introduce an innovative concurrent graph model that provides addition and removal of any edge of the graph, as well as atomic traversals of a part (or the entirety) of the graph. Dense achieves wait-freedom by relying on light-weight helping and provides the inbuilt capability of performing a partial snapshot on a dynamically determined subset of the graph. We finally aim at predicted future architectures. In the interest of ode reuse and of a common paradigm, there is recent momentum towards porting software runtime environments, originally intended for shared-memory settings, onto non-cache-coherent machines. JVM, the runtime environment of the high-productivity language Java, is a notable example. Concurrent data structure implementations are important components of the libraries that environments like these incorporate. With the goal of contributing to this effort, we study general techniques for implementing distributed data structures assuming they have to run on many-core architectures that offer either partially cache-coherent memory or no cache coherence at all and present implementations of stacks, queues, and lists

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe work described in this manuscript is devoted to the synthesis of heterocyclic constrained γ-amino acids, named ATCs (4-Amino-(methyl)-1,3-Thiazole-5-Carboxylic acids), their application in enamine catalysis and their structural study. ATC monomers are built around a thiazole ring providing a conformational limitation around the Cα and Cβ at 0°. The presence of two diversification points both on the γ asymmetric carbon and on the position 2 of the aromatic ring, allows a large structural diversification of the ATCs. Therefore, several oligomers were synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis. A structural study of these oligomers, employing NMR, FTIR, circular dichroism and crystallography RX, demonstrated that they adopt a C9-right-handed helix stabilized by a hydrogen bond pattern between COi---NHi+2 along the helix. The objective of the project presented in this manuscript was the design and the structural characterization of molecular edifices with predictable folding properties and the systematic study of structure-function relationships in the nitro-Michael addition reaction, for three different substrates. Eventually, the last part of this work focused on the development of a new methodology, specific to ATC-oligomers, to perform 3D-modelling studies using NMR refinement

Lightweight architecture questions how we architects think about the environment. It has qualities which complement "mainstream" buildings. This thesis will explore these qualities and will propose that this architecture is rooted in the modern sensibility and suggests an attitude towards the environment that is needed in our cities. Lightweight architecture is concerned with optimal and, particularly, parsimonious use of materials and effort. Much lightweight architecture is tensile as structures loaded in tension use the least amount of material. Now that modern technology and materials have opened up possibilities· in research and application, much of the research has been done and is no longer the exclusive realm of trained engineers. The question of application of this technology remains -- this is up to the architects. The style of lightweight architecture can be looked at in terms of aesthetic, the process by which one develops its forms and the way of thinking from which it arises. The aesthetic of lightweight architecture enriches the traditional aesthetic notion familiar to us (symmetry, proportion and balance) with the more elusive notions of dynamic symmetry, relative harmony and equilibrium. Form-finding is an experimental process of trial and error. It stems not only from the scientific discipline of static, but from other disciplines , explored from without. In this way, unexpected combinations appear. Complementing static research into the minimal use of materials, vernacular constructions and biology have been used for a greater understanding of parsimony in building. The "logic of reasoning" refers to a creator's conception of the world in which one creates. The designers of lightweight architecture believe in a world not of specialization and analysis, but of creation and adaption, an ecological view of the world. Because the process of creation is more important that the resultant form, the syntactics of structural and formal assembly takes precedence on an analogical basis for form-finding.The second section of this thesis explores lightweight architecture in the city. The current trend of placing lightweight buildings in parks rejects the possibilities of lightweight architecture can offer the city. Many architects see a conflict in the juxtaposition of lightweight buildings against traditional load-bearing urban "fabric". Lightweight architecture implies notions of boundary and mutability that are contrary to these same notions as represented in industrial cities. Being ephemeral, mobile and adaptable, this architecture, by its unboundedness, forces us to re-assess our notion of boundary. Lightweight architecture, allows for a rapid adaption of buildings in the city to climatic change and for the periodic gathering of festivals and markets. The adaptive, mutable qualities lightweight architecture can bring to the city are particularly valuable for urban public spaces. This architecture allows for human engagement with the environment and with each other. The load-bearing wall and its function in the city -- the separation of one activity from another and the definition of privacy -- has been radically redefined by the advent of the glass curtain wall and the telephone. This process has left us with ambiguous urban "public" spaces not much used by the public yet not truly private. Re-introducing a mobile, lightweight ephemeral architecture into post-industrial cities is a desire to implement certain socio-political ideas about city culture and simultaneously make places where those policies are lived.

Context plays important roles in architecture design, any feelings we implement, or any existing conditions that we try to address in a design process intents emerge. Understanding the relationships between elements in a given design context and how they affect decision making for new ideas is crucial in understand how a design comes into form. By capturing this context responsiveness, we can capture the design knowledge into computers for different kinds of automated processes. Parametric modeling tools and scripting interfaces in modern ... ways to model data. The objects we create from these tools could potentially used in various computation processes and allow designers to interact with slight reconfigurations, they could help designers to capture design knowledge My thesis will try to use computation concepts such as Object Orient of technology to allow modeling software to model parametric objects in a way that provides flexible interfaces amongst parametric object, script, and designers. Then I will propose a context responsive to address the questions of how to capture design in a more effective way.

EVENT CLOUD is a versatile covering system that allows events to happen independently to weather conditions. It consists of a lighter than air pneumatic structure, filled either with helium or hot air, that covers spaces by floating over them. Weightlessness permits EVENT CLOUD to theoretically cover an infinite surface, overcoming traditional large span structures proper weight limitation. EVENT CLOUD is a non-rigid aerodynamic balloon that can act as a fixed roof that does not overload the structure with weight. In this position events are protected from external weather conditions, converting any field into an interior climatically controlled space. If weather conditions are good the covering can be released from the anchoring system and let EVENT CLOUD float on the air. When EVENT CLOUD drifts in the air it becomes an urban reference, a visible object from around the city where the system is placed, and also a local clean energy source for the neighborhood. Creativity and design unite the functionality of a roof, the visual perception of an urban monument and the environmental action of locally producing energy to reduce carbon footprint of large events. EVENT CLOUD defeats gravity by enclosing within its boundaries a gas that weighs less than air to make the whole structure react to the medium it is placed in: air. This type of thinking implies the understanding that architecture creates objects that are inserted into a dynamical system within the fluid of space-time rather than isolated objects that only respond to compositional relations within themselves. Thus the design of EVENT CLOUD implies that architecture is a long-lived art discipline that has evolved from Beaux Arts compositional practices towards the post relativistic art of artificially manipulating the energetic and topological boundaries of events. Weightlessness provides the structure with a higher degree of versatility to allow EVENT CLOUD to nimbly respond to the requirements of each moment in space-time.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe aim of this thesis has been to develop systems capable of responding to external stimuli, based on photochromic units. The goal of such a quest is to increase the complexity of devices and synthetic molecular machines. With the goal of developing more complex artificial devices and machines, we have realised systems containing multiple molecular switches. For the realisation of this thesis, new multi-photochromic systems, or photochromes/nanomaterials hybrids containing azobenzene, diarylethene or spiropyran moieties have been realised and studied. Firstly, we focused on multi-azobenzene systems capable of undergoing large geometric rearrangements during photoisomerisation, as they may be used in the future as constituent elements of host-guest or metal-organic frameworks controllable by luminous stimuli. In a second example, dithienylethene-type photochromic switches have been used to trigger the emission of a porphyrin. This dyad exhibited a reversible modulation of its emission, displaying a particularly highly contrasted response. As a final example, a spiropyran derivative has been combined with anisotropic gold nanoparticles. By inducing the isomerisation of the molecular switch in the AuNR colloidal liquid dispersions, we visualised a large variation of the colloid extinction spectrum, dependent on the LSPR mode wavelength and the spectral overlap with the photoswitch

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIn the last decade, very realistic rendering of plant architectures have been produced in computer graphics applications. However, in the context of biology and agronomy, acquisition of accurate models of real plants is still a tedious task and a major bottleneck for the construction of quantitative models of plant development. Recently, 3D laser scanners made it possible to acquire 3D images on which each pixel has an associate depth corresponding to the distance between the scanner and the pinpointed surface of the object. Standard geometrical reconstructions fail on plants structures as they usually contain a complex set of discontinuous or branching surfaces distributed in space with varying orientations. In this thesis, we present a method for reconstructing virtual models of plants from laser scanning of real-world vegetation. Measuring plants with laser scanners produces data with different levels of precision. Points set are usually dense on the surface of the main branches, but only sparsely cover thin branches. The core of our method is to iteratively create the skeletal structure of the plant according to local density of point set. This is achieved thanks to a method that locally adapts to the levels of precision of the data by combining a contraction phase and a local point tracking algorithm. In addition, we present a quantitative evaluation procedure to compare our reconstructions against expertised structures of real plants. For this, we first explore the use of an edit distance between tree graphs. Alternatively, we formalize the comparison as an assignment problem to find the best matching between the two structures and quantify their differences

Masonry structures are vulnerable to earthquakes, but their seismic assessment remains a challenge. This dissertation develops and improves several strategies to better understand the behavior of masonry structures under seismic loading, and to determine their safety. The primary focus is on historic arched or vaulted structures, but more modern unreinforced masonry structures are also considered. Assessment strategies which employ simplified quasi-static loading to simulate seismic effects are initially addressed. New analysis methods which focus on stability or strength are presented, and the merits of these strategies are clarified. First, a new parametric graphical equilibrium method is developed which allows real-time analysis and illuminates the complex stability of vaulted masonry structures. Second, a finite element strategy for predicting brittle fracture of masonry structures is extended to incorporate non-proportional loading and shell elements. These extensions enable prediction of damage and collapse mechanisms in general, but are specifically used to predict the response of a full-scale masonry structure to quasi-static cyclic loading. Subsequently, assessment methods based on the dynamic response of masonry structures under earthquake loading are presented. First, rigid body dynamics and an experimental testing program are used to characterize the rocking response of the masonry arch for the first time.
(cont.) An assessment criterion is developed which successfully predicts experimentally observed arch collapse under a variety of earthquake time histories. Second, the behavior of rocking structures is addressed in general, and clearly distinguished from typical dynamic oscillators. The rocking response is time dependent, evoking the development of a statistical method for predicting collapse. Finally, the ability of discrete element methods to predict the dynamics of masonry structures is evaluated through comparison with analytical and experimental results, and a rational method for assigning modeling parameters is proposed.
