Abstract: This paper provides clarification and extension of singularity functions for the construction of shear–moment diagrams in beams and the subsequent determination of beam deflections. The mathematical formulation for impulse, polynomial, and general-form singularity functions and… read more here.

Abstract: There are numerous nature-inspired curves representing certain structural behaviour being utilised in form-finding process by some famous architects. By closely scrutinising these forms, some interrelated morphological analogies between different structural forms and functions, such as… read more here.
