Description of the research topic:
Funicular cable and arch structures can be extremely material-efficient and at the same time visually attractive. In most cases, the requirement of funicularity significantly reduces the designer's freedom of choice in form selection, although for some structures (e.g. trusses), funicularity is always achieved regardless of structural form. The proposed research aims to systematically investigate the forms of funicular structures with topologies and loads commonly used in structural design. We also aim to describe topologies where the structure can be formed freely, while maintaining funicularity. The limits of free forming, as defined by the singularities that appear in the solutions, are also investigated
The research involves the use of algebraic and geometric methods applicable to discrete models and the investigation of differential equations for continuous models. The expected results are applicable for the conceptual design of largespan roofs and bridge structures among others.
