Design Model for Block-Based Structures from Triply Orthogonal Systems of Surfaces

Year: 2023

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: A design model for structures constituted by a system of planar blocks based on the geometry of Triply Orthogonal Systems of Surfaces (TOS) is presented. This model goes from the different TOS types generated together with preserving Möbius transformation to the blocks’ assembly and sizing. Based on the design model, a prototype for a TOS version of the topological interlocking system is explored.
