TORSION AS A DESIGN DRIVER IN PLATE-BENDING-ACTIVE TENSILE STRUCTURES

TORSION AS A DESIGN DRIVER IN PLATE-BENDING-ACTIVE TENSILE STRUCTURES

This paper investigates and demonstrates the structural and architectural potentials of torsion in plate elements for bending-active tensile structures and evaluates the limits to which torsion can be employed in plate-hybrid structures. Bending‐active tensile structures are a novel typology of lightweight structures utilizing integrated bending-active elements as support for a membrane structure.
