 +
 +
'''A,  Prototype  Archievement'''
 +
 +
1,  the overall behavior scheme is functioning
 +
 +
2,  the proposed materials have the desired performance
 +
 +
3,  the valve & component system achieves the desired behavior
 +
 +
4,  the generic component is strong and stiff when inflated
 +
 +
5,  the prototype fragment shows the possibility of creating variable size arches in direct relation to the overall concept and architectural implementation
 +
 +
 +
'''B, Prototype Improvement'''
 +
 +
1,  the current connection between component should only provide one degree of freedom
 +
 +
2,  each component should have its own valve system; this will assure that the whole system is air - tight and provides for superior control
 +
 +
3,  the air connection between the PVC hose and the component should be air-tight in any position and detachable
 +
 +
4,  the thickness of the rubber tires should be greater than the current 2.5 mm; a greater thickness of 4 to 7 mm would achieve superior performance
 +
 +
5,  the material of the tires should be butil rubber instead of the current natural rubber; this would assure that every component share the same behavior
 +
 +
6,  the underside of the component - the spine - should be stiff but bendable in one direction
 +
 +
7, the rubber tires should be custom made into linear shapes with custom dome-shaped cap ends
 +
 +
8,  the generic component should be bigger, in direct relation to its strength, stiffness and stability

RESEARCH CONCLUSION

A, Prototype Archievement

1, the overall behavior scheme is functioning

2, the proposed materials have the desired performance

3, the valve & component system achieves the desired behavior

4, the generic component is strong and stiff when inflated

5, the prototype fragment shows the possibility of creating variable size arches in direct relation to the overall concept and architectural implementation


B, Prototype Improvement

1, the current connection between component should only provide one degree of freedom

2, each component should have its own valve system; this will assure that the whole system is air - tight and provides for superior control

3, the air connection between the PVC hose and the component should be air-tight in any position and detachable

4, the thickness of the rubber tires should be greater than the current 2.5 mm; a greater thickness of 4 to 7 mm would achieve superior performance

5, the material of the tires should be butil rubber instead of the current natural rubber; this would assure that every component share the same behavior

6, the underside of the component - the spine - should be stiff but bendable in one direction

7, the rubber tires should be custom made into linear shapes with custom dome-shaped cap ends

8, the generic component should be bigger, in direct relation to its strength, stiffness and stability

Cap Test

22 December 2011

A different end of the component was designed: a cap. The hugger will be sewn with a sewing machine,
but for the scale model this is not always possible -> it is too small to put under the sewing machine.
The new cap was tested and here under you can find the pictures.
