Hey there,
Is there anyway to design an RC shear core for lateral stability?
I'm aware of the importance of them within buildings to take the lateral load but was wondering if there is any design or analysis guides/guidance on the maths behind it?
For example, knowing how large to make them...
I agree with your idea about a displacement controlled approach to the system. However, I think imposing a uniform displacement to all the top nodes wouldn't be accurate as they are all at different elevations and the 'compressing' of the top of the structure at the point of contact with the...
Hey there,
I'm doing my masters research problem on the folding of origami inspired triangulated cylinders and I am currently trying to build some code that simulates this folding process.
The simulation so far is a bunch of pin-joint bars that make up the 'folds' and will deform under an...
