Geodesic Dome

Geodesic Dome

Geodesic Dome

(OP)
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!

I had a little fun looking for these.  If the articles don't have want you want then the bibliographies might.

Somehow I have the feeling we are on totally different trains of thought but I found the following:

It is a power point presentation that goes directly into download, just scan it, it should be okay.

Some of those links are for you to pay for the article, guess it depends on how you feel if they are important or not.  Let me know if anything here helped or not.

If you need geometry or structural analysis of a geodesic space frame surfaced by think panels, post here again...
