Mechanically rational forms of curved surface structures shaped from the uniform strain elements by Tanaka, Koki, Ijima, Katsushi, Obiya, Hiroyuki, Zakaria, Muhammad Nizam bin

“…When the uniform strain elements composing a structural form have even isotropic strain in all over the form, the form is an isotropic tension form. Since the uniform strain element has the material stiffness, the method can stably yield a form with the strains varying as narrowly as possible in the curved surface under the condition impossible to shape a minimal surface.…”
