Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDialectic Form Finding of Structurally Integrated Adaptive StructuresL. Rhode-Barbarigos, V. Charpentier, S. Adriaenssens, O. BaverelStructural engineering, prompted by advances in mechanics and computing as well as design principles such as sustainability and resilience, is evolving towards adaptive structures. Adaptive structures are structures that use active components to change shape and properties in response to their environment and/or to their users' desires. Form-found structures, such as tensegrity and shell structures, can be designed to accommodate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 7,850 accessesView PDFCite
