Friday 25 January 2019, at 13.00, The Technical University of Denmark, Building 303A, Auditorium 45\n
\nPrincipal supervisor: Professor Steen Schyum Markvorsen\n
\nCo-supervisor: Professor Jakob Bohr\n
Examiners:\n
\nAssociate Professor David Brander Perez, DTU Compute\n
\nProfessor Vicente Palmer Andreu, Universitat Jaume I\n
\nProfessor Konrad Polthier, Freie Universität Berlin\n
Chairman: Associate Professor Jens Gravesen, DTU Compute\n
\nSummary: In this thesis we are concerned with developable surfaces, that is, surfaces that can\nbe produced by bending without stretching or compressing a planar thin sheet\nof\nbendable material. This is a classical family of surfaces, which has been extensively\nstudied in the past and\nwhich\nhas an important number of modern applications within\narchitecture\n(e.g.,\nFrank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall)\n, cartography, and\nmanufacturing.\nIn particular, we present a novel method for approximating an arbitrary (doubly-curved) surface S\nby means of developable surfaces, each\none of which is\ntangential\nto S along a prescribed curve. Some of the results obtained are then generalized\nto\nmore abstract higher-dimensional settings.\nOne can foresee many possible applications in the future, from solar cells\nconfigurations to design of bridges and buildings, manufacturing\nof micro devices,\nand perhaps even garnishing\nof prepared food.\n
\nREAD MORE about this thesis in DTU Orbit.
\nA copy of the PhD thesis is available for reading at the department.\n
\nEveryone is welcome.
