Generation of elastic geodesic gridshells with anisotropic cross sections

Résumé

Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flattening arbitrary geodesic grids, which forbids their initial assembly on the ground. This study provides a process to design elastic geodesic gridshells, that is, gridshells that minimise bending moments in both formed and near-flat configurations. The generation process first brings a target geodesic network onto a plane by maintaining arc lengths. The flat mesh is then relaxed to minimise its main curvatures and hence bending moments in its members. The result is an elastic geodesic gridshell that can be assembled flat on the ground and then lifted up into its target surface. The method is applied to the design of six geodesic gridshells made of reclaimed skis.
