Howe ver, the pure-compression assumption restricts the geometry of the structu re's plan in that any free boundary edges cannot bulge outward. Allowing b oth tension and compression is essential so that overhanging leaves can st retch out toward the sky. When performing tension-compression mixed form-f inding, a problem with boundary condition (BC) compatibility arises. Since the form-finding equation is hyperbolic, boundary information propagates along the asymptotic lines of the stress function. If conflicting BC data is prescribed at either end of an asymptotic line, the problem becomes ill -posed. This requires a user of a form-finding method to know the solution in advance. By contrast, pure-tension or pure-compression problems are el liptic and always give solutions under any BCs sufficient to restrain rigi d motion. To solve the form-finding problem for tension-compression mixed shells, we focus on the Airy's stress function, which describes the stress field in a shell. Rather than taking the stress function as given, we ins tead treat both the stress function and the shell as unknowns. This double s the solution variables, turning the problem to one that has an infinity of different solutions. By enforcing equilibrium in the shell interior and prescribing the correct matching pairs of BCs to both the stress function and the shell, a stress function and shell can be simultaneously found su ch that equilibrium is satisfied everywhere in the shell interior and thus automatically has compatible BCs by construction. The problem of a potent ially over-constrained form-finding is thus avoided by expanding the solut ion space and creating an under-determined problem. By varying inputs and repeatedly searching for stress function-shell pairs that fall within the solution space, a user is allowed to interactively explore the possible f orms of tension-compression mixed shells under the given plan of the shell .\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\nLanguage: ENG LISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_158&sess=sess17 7 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
