In that regard the establishment of material, structural and technological foundations along the entire value chain are of central importance: From the light-weight design idea to the demonstrator and reference object, to the technological implementation for the transfer of the research results into practice. The development of the material included the requirement-oriented composition of a high-strength fine grained concrete with an integrated textile reinforcement, such as carbon knitted fabrics. Innovations in formwork solutions provide new possibilities for concrete constructions. So, a bionic optimized shape of the pavilion was developed, realized by four connected TRC-lightweight-shells. The thin-walled TRC-shells were manufactured with a formwork made of glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP). An advantage of the GFRP-formwork is the freedom of design concerning the formwork shape. Moreover, an excellent concrete quality can be achieved, while the production of the precast concrete components is simple and efficient simultaneously. After the production the new TRC-shells were installed and assembled on the campus of TU-Chemnitz. A special feature of the research pavilions are the LED light strips integrated in the shell elements, providing homogeneous illumination.展开更多

With the KirchhofF-Love hypothesis, DonnelFs nonlinear shallow shell theory, hyperelastic constitutive relation, Lagrange equations and small strain hypothesis, a system of nonlinear differential equations describing the large-deflection vibration of the shell is derived. First, the natural frequencies of radial, circumferential and axial vibrations axe studied. Then, based on the bifurcation diagrams and the Poincare sections, the nonlinear behaviors describing the radial vibration of the shell are illustrated. Examining the influences of structural and material parameters on radial vibration of the shell shows that the vibration modes are highly sensitive to the thickness-radius ratio when the ratio is less than a certain critical value. Moreover, in terms of the results of multimodal expansion, it is found that the response of the shell to radial motion is more regular than that without considering the coupling between modes, while there are more phenomena for the uncoupled case.展开更多
