Abstract

3D Graphic Statics In article number 2109725, Abdolhamid Akbarzadeh, Masoud Akbarzadeh, and co-workers report 3D/polyhedral graphic statics as a topological design methodology for realizing strut/shellular-based funicular materials with tunable mechanical properties, ranging from bending- to stretching-dominated and metafluidic behavior. This approach reveals the geometric relations in the truss system architecture, topological duality, and equilibrium of forces in architected cellular solids using dual reciprocal diagrams. The approach is scale-independent and can be applied to design metamaterials at the micro-scale and infrastructural systems at the macro-scale.
