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'm not sure if I understand your issue. If the geodesic dome is a triangulated spece frame skinned with panels, I can help. Is it?
