Abstract

Chinese ice-ray (IR) lattices, known for their intricate and visually fascinating random patterns as decorative elements in traditional 18th-century Chinese window design, exhibit underlying stiffness as latticed window fences. Such unique patterns represent a new morphology within the family of stochastic lattices. However, the latent structural potential within the random patterns of ice-ray lattices remains largely unexplored, particularly in the context of lattice shell design. This study systematically studies the geometric qualities of ice-ray lattice patterns and develops an algorithm to model these patterns for ice-ray lattice shell design. Subsequently, it assesses the structural feasibility and effectiveness of these lattice shells in comparison to conventional gridshells. The practicality of constructing random lattice shells using digital fabrication tools is also explored. Employing fractal geometry as a foundational framework, this research not only offers insights into the potential of ice-ray lattices for innovative lattice shell design but also introduces a new structural morphology to the field, expanding the possibilities of incorporating stochastic patterns in lattice shell design. Ultimately, it opens up new opportunities for innovative lattice shell designs, emphasizing the potential of stochastic patterns in structural applications.

基于随机分形的冰射线（IR）晶格外壳结构计算设计

中国的冰射线（IR）格子因其错综复杂、视觉效果迷人的随机图案而闻名，是 18 世纪中国传统窗户设计中的装饰元素。这种独特的图案代表了随机网格家族中的一种新形态。然而，冰射线格子随机图案中潜在的结构潜力在很大程度上仍未被开发，尤其是在格子壳设计方面。本研究系统地研究了冰射线晶格图案的几何特性，并开发了一种为冰射线晶格外壳设计建立这些图案模型的算法。随后，研究评估了这些格壳与传统格壳相比在结构上的可行性和有效性。此外，还探讨了使用数字制造工具构建随机晶格外壳的实用性。这项研究采用分形几何作为基础框架，不仅深入探讨了冰射线晶格在创新晶格外壳设计方面的潜力，还为该领域引入了一种新的结构形态，拓展了在晶格外壳设计中采用随机模式的可能性。最终，它为创新晶格外壳设计开辟了新的机遇，强调了随机模式在结构应用中的潜力。
