--- _id: '9261' abstract: - lang: eng text: 'Bending-active structures are able to efficiently produce complex curved shapes starting from flat panels. The desired deformation of the panels derives from the proper selection of their elastic properties. Optimized panels, called FlexMaps, are designed such that, once they are bent and assembled, the resulting static equilibrium configuration matches a desired input 3D shape. The FlexMaps elastic properties are controlled by locally varying spiraling geometric mesostructures, which are optimized in size and shape to match the global curvature (i.e., bending requests) of the target shape. The design pipeline starts from a quad mesh representing the input 3D shape, which defines the edge size and the total amount of spirals: every quad will embed one spiral. Then, an optimization algorithm tunes the geometry of the spirals by using a simplified pre-computed rod model. This rod model is derived from a non-linear regression algorithm which approximates the non-linear behavior of solid FEM spiral models subject to hundreds of load combinations. This innovative pipeline has been applied to the project of a lightweight plywood pavilion named FlexMaps Pavilion, which is a single-layer piecewise twisted arc that fits a bounding box of 3.90x3.96x3.25 meters.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Francesco full_name: Laccone, Francesco last_name: Laccone - first_name: Luigi full_name: Malomo, Luigi last_name: Malomo - first_name: Jesus full_name: Perez Rodriguez, Jesus id: 2DC83906-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Perez Rodriguez - first_name: Nico full_name: Pietroni, Nico last_name: Pietroni - first_name: Federico full_name: Ponchio, Federico last_name: Ponchio - first_name: Bernd full_name: Bickel, Bernd id: 49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bickel orcid: 0000-0001-6511-9385 - first_name: Paolo full_name: Cignoni, Paolo last_name: Cignoni citation: ama: 'Laccone F, Malomo L, Perez Rodriguez J, et al.
