2.5D Playgrounds for Bogota: Stimulate Playful Actions in Public Spaces by Redesigning Ground Surfaces into 2.5D Architectural Compositions

How to construct the commons with the power of play? How to reactivate leftover public spaces in central Bogota by architectural interventions that stimulate playful actions? <br/><br/>I shift my focus from buildings to the ground surfaces, and redesign them into a constellation of “2.5D architectural composition”. “2.5D” refers to an abstract...

Prediction of Buckling-Induced Delamination Growth Onset in Composite Laminates

A one-dimensional analytical solution to predict buckling-induced delamination growth was developed toward an efficient and effective engineering application. The postbuckling solution for a composite beam was first obtained with nonlinear deflection approximations based on 'thin film' assumption. An interlaminar stress analysis method was then...
