geodesic dome
 

geodesic dome
hi;
i am working on layer optimization of composite pressure vessels with isotensoid filament winding.i am changing fiber angles and in each angle i optimize the thickness.since i want an isotensoid state it is necessary in each angle to change the opening of pressure vessel.so the dome geometry changes.i have some points for modelling the first dome shape.but i don't have the equation for other changes .can anybody help me with the equation and solving it for various conditions.any help would be greatly appreciated!
check out our whitepaper library.
i had a little fun looking for these. if the articles don't have want you want then the bibliographies might.
if you need geometry or structural analysis of a geodesic space frame surfaced by think panels, post here again...
