Abstract: Abstract Recent applications of bending-active structural principles have facilitated the development of unique, material and energy efficient, free-form lightweight systems. The systems are realized through the application of an interdisciplinary design, computational fabrication, exclusive assembly… read more here.

Abstract: This article examines the structural behaviour of six structural units composed of single, simply paired and paired-interconnected bending-active members, coupled with a single cable element. The form-found curvilinear shape of the members is achieved through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0956059920931021
Abstract: This article highlights the design potentials of a recently proposed form-driven approach for bending-active tensile structures, in which the geometry of the actively bent elements can be directly defined without the recourse to a form-finding… read more here.
