Geometry-based structural analysis and design via discrete stress functions
… and force diagrams based on reciprocal discrete stress functions. This research combines and reinterprets knowledge from Maxwell’s 19th century graphic statics, projective geometry and rigidity theory to provide an interactive design and analysis framework through which information about designed …

Wrinkling in polygonal membranes
… of the wrinkles are investigated and two novel stress analysis methods for polygonal membranes are developed initially. The first uses Airy stress functions: by superposing a number of these functions, and deriving from it a solution for a free body disk, the stress field of a polygon is …
