The bridge: possible further developments

Mechanical elements of a construction can depend on many parameters. In earlier calculations only the displacement under one condition is taken care of. Of course many other things are possible:

Other conditions, beams that contain more support points. It would also be possible to make a model where a beam splits in two separate beams if a load or a distance to the side of the floor plan is larger than a certain value.

Other possibilities would be making a bridge form depend on the line of moment and stresses in a construction. The area of the construction can be changed by the value of tension. The maximum tension on the lower parts of the construction. This would mean that the construction on the construction would be larger where a higher moment can be found.

Torsion could also be a mechanical thing that crates the construction. The torsion creates tension in the material and in the material a maximum tension is allowed. Where the tension is higher, the construction must be bigger.

In the first presentation is told about a bridge which is designed. This bridge was the starting point for the research. Also in this presentation was told about things that I think that are important. Shortly I told about structuring and optimizing and this is what comes back every time, in the development of the models.

In the early stage of this course is told that a bridge construction or a general construction has its influence on the load, which depends on the area that rests on the construction. In this was concluded that changes in the program (changes in the floor plan) should be able to change the construction. In this the displacement was the point that is worked out under a certain condition.
Further in the course also the possibility of introducing lines of moment and beams on more than two support points. The summation of lines of moments was important to find out.
The possible models for the summation of lines of moments can be worked out with tension. In the next weeks I will try to develop a way of making the construction depend on this tension. The maximum tension in a material should be the creator of the constructional form.
