| description | During the pass few decades, the development of shell structure in nature as a
structural form has added an exciting chapter to contemporary architecture. As shells are
form-active structure, proper choice of shape is very important in order to achieve high
level of structural efficiency. With the development of computer technology and much
computer software, computer stimulation has reached a high level of standard. The analysis
of shell can be performed by using the finite element method. In this research, an
investigation on the surface efficiency of selected seashell has been done. The data of
seashell surface can be obtained by using “fringe projection” method. Static analysis under
self-weight has been done with using different surface thicknesses. The model of the
selected seashell can be generated by using finite element software ADINA. Since it is
found that no research has been carried out in an attempt to investigate the structural
efficiency of the seashell surface, this present research has been carried out with the
objective to compare the structural advantages in term of strength and rigidity of the
selected seashell. Through the analysis of the results, the distribution of bending moments,
membrane forces, shear forces and vertical displacement can be examined. It has been
found that the strength and rigidity of shell in the shape of seashell is quite good and
acceptable as long as suitable material is used. |
