Abstract

This research explores the efficiency of a newly developed Structurally Integrated Surface Articulation (SISA) system for a variety of structural engineering applications, such as exterior building facades and solar panels. SISA is a modular system that consists of dynamically adjustable three-dimensional surface panels supported by an internal wire-frame space structure. The articulation techniques vary depending on the specific function of the panels, with configurations designed to optimize structural performance through composite action between the outer surface panels and the internal frame. Materials such as plastic, smart glass, and sheet metal are evaluated in conjunction with polyhedral and honeycomb configurations, including tetrahedral and convex polygonal forms. The research emphasizes enhancing large-scale structural efficiency by integrating modern frame systems with surface articulation. It also explores the evolution of architectural design and presents case studies using SISA-based structures to highlight the potential improvements in structural integrity. By addressing both material properties and design techniques, the study aims to demonstrate how the SISA system can provide significant advancements in architectural engineering.

Mimari Mühendislik Uygulamaları için Yapısal Olarak Entegre Yüzey Artikülasyon (SISA) Panellerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırma, dış cephe kaplamaları ve güneş panelleri gibi çeşitli yapısal mühendislik uygulamaları için geliştirilen yeni bir Yüzey Artikulasyonu ile Yapısal Olarak Entegre (SISA) sistemin verimliliğini incelemektedir. SISA, içte bir tel-kafes yapı tarafından desteklenen dinamik olarak ayarlanabilir üç boyutlu yüzey panellerinden oluşan modüler bir sistemdir. Artikulasyon teknikleri, panellerin özel işlevine bağlı olarak değişmekte ve dış yüzey panelleri ile iç yapı arasındaki kompozit etki sayesinde yapısal performansı optimize edecek şekilde yapılandırılmaktadır. Araştırmada plastik, akıllı cam ve sac metal gibi malzemeler ile tetrahedral ve dışbükey çokgen formlar gibi çokyüzlü ve petek konfigürasyonlar değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma, modern çerçeve sistemlerini yüzey artikulasyonu ile entegre ederek büyük ölçekli yapısal verimliliği artırmayı vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca mimari tasarımın evrimini inceleyerek, SISA tabanlı yapıları kullanarak yapısal bütünlükteki olası iyileştirmeleri vurgulayan vaka çalışmalarını sunmaktadır. Hem malzeme özelliklerini hem de tasarım tekniklerini ele alarak, bu çalışma SISA sisteminin mimari mühendislikte önemli gelişmeler sağlayabileceğini göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.
