Definitions
- This disclosure concerns construction of three dimensional (3D) curved surfaces using two-dimensional (2D) strips which can be deformed and aligned to yield a discrete approximation of the desired 3D surface.
- 3D curved surfaces having paraboloidal or other shapes are used for various purposes, e.g. as non-planar mirrors, in architectonics, etc.
- 3D curved surfaces can be formed using manufacturing techniques such as injection molding or water forming.
- maintaining or applying a highly reflective mirror finish on the surface of a paraboloid or other 3D curved surface can be problematic, potentially making such techniques prohibitively expensive. Comparatively cost-effective construction of a 3D structure approximating a selected 3D curved surface is disclosed below.
- Figure 1 schematically depicts a paraboloid.
- Figure 2 schematically depicts a series of 2D strips that can be simply deformed and aligned adjacent one another to approximate a
- Figure 3 schematically depicts a 3D approximation of a paraboloidal surface formed of simply deformed, aligned 2D strips.
- Figure 4 is an oblique isometric schematic illustration showing the Figure 3 strips mounted on a support frame.
- Figure 5 schematically depicts a prior art geodesic dome.
- Figure 6 schematically depicts a 3D approximation of a spherical surface formed of simply deformed, aligned 2D strips.
- the "Gaussian curvature" of a point on a curved surface is the product of the two principal curvatures at that point. For example, at any point on the surface of a sphere, there is curvature in two directions, so the Gaussian curvature of a sphere is non-zero. A cylinder has curvature in only one direction, so the Gaussian curvature of a cylinder is zero. A cone is another example of a curved surface having zero Gaussian curvature. Many other curved surfaces have zero Gaussian curvature. [0012] The following disclosure pertains to the formation of a 3D structure having a shape approximating that of a selected 3D curved surface (e.g.
- the structure may be formed of a plurality of thin straight 2D strips each having zero Gaussian curvature.
- the strips are simply deformed and aligned adjacent to one another to approximate the selected 3D curved surface.
- "Simple deformation” of a thin strip means that the Gaussian curvature of the strip remains zero after deformation.
- "Straight” means that when the strips are simply deformed to approximate the selected 3D curved surface, the strips' edges appear straight when the deformed strips are viewed from a preferred viewing direction.
- a 3D curved surface having a desired shape for example a light concentrating shape such as a paraboloid (i.e.
- the surface of revolution of a parabola as shown in Figure 1) can be made from individual strips 10 of relatively inexpensive highly reflective material such as polished aluminum sheeting. Suitable material is available from Alanod Aluminium- Veredlung GmbH & Co. KG of Ennepetal, Germany under the trademark MIRO ® .
- Each strip 10 ( Figures 2—4) has an optimal 2D shape such that, after simple deformation of strips 10, alignment of their adjacent edges, and attachment of the simply deformed, aligned strips 10 to a rigid frame 12 as shown in Figure 4 and explained below, the desired continuous yet discrete 3D curved shape approximation is obtained.
- the strips are only simply curved, each strip remains flat in one direction. Consequently, the 3D curved shape approximation formed by the simply deformed strips will have a plurality of flat facets, with each strip forming one facet.
- each strip 10 should be sufficiently small that placement of the flat strips adjacent one another approximates the desired curved surface shape sufficiently well that the angular error associated with the discrete, flat strip size is less than a maximum error.
- a parabolic surface is approximated by a small number of wide strips, e.g. the extreme case in which only two wide strips are used.
- the 3D curved shape approximation formed by the two wide strips will clearly deviate substantially from the ideal parabolic curve being approximated, result- ing in a large angular error.
- a larger number of narrower strips will more accurately approximate the ideal parabolic curve, resulting in a small angular error.
- strips 10 should also have roughly uniform width. In the case of the paraboloid-approximating strips 10 shown in Figures 2—4, the strip width is uniform (i.e. there is no variation in width along the length of any of strips 10). However, strips used to approximate other curved surface shapes may have a strip width which varies by no more than ⁇ 10% along a longitudinal axis of the strip.
- the strips have roughly uniform width then one may select an optimal strip width which is both sufficiently small to approximate the desired curved shape, and sufficiently large to be practical. For example, if the paraboloid approximating strips shown in Figures 2—4 have a very small strip width then simple deformation of the strips will approximate a paraboloid quite accurately. However, formation of a paraboloid approximation using such strips may be impractical in view of the need to fabricate, manipulate, mount and bond a relatively large number of strips as explained below. Moreover, increasing the number of strips by decreasing the strip width increases the number of gaps or seams between adjacent strips.
- the mean reflectance of a paraboloidal mirror approximation formed of reflective strips decreases in proportion to the strip width. Increasing the number of strips by decreasing their width is also likely to increase costs by increasing the time and hence labour cost required to fabricate, manipulate, mount and bond the strips as ex- plained below.
- each strip should be much greater than (e.g. more than 5 times) the width of the strip, so that the strip will provide a good approximation of the desired 3D curved surface when the strip is simply deformed.
- the thickness of each strip should be very substan- tially less than the length or width of the strip such that each strip can be simply deformed into the desired shape. For example, strips of 0.5 mm thick aluminum are easily simply deformed to approximate a mirror roughly 1 metre in extent and having a focal length of roughly 1 metre.
- Each strip has a predetermined flat shape such that, after the strips are simply deformed and aligned, adjacent edges of adjacent strips are substantially parallel and separated by a substantially small gap.
- the "flat shape" of a curved surface having zero Gaussian curvature means the shape that the surface has when the surface is simply deformed into a plane.
- “Substantially parallel and separated by a substantially small gap” means that the strips, not the gaps, constitute most of the 3D curved surface approximation.
- the desired 3D shape of each strip (i.e. the shape into which each strip will be simply deformed when the strip is used to approximate part of the selected 3D curved surface) can be determined using standard geometrical techniques. For example, in the case of the paraboloid approximating strips shown in Figures 2—4, optics techniques commonly used in lens design can be used to calculate the shape of each strip, and the calculation results can be confirmed by computer ray trace simulations. An arrangement of somewhat parallel lines, separated by distances selected to define suitable strip widths as de- scribed above, is then mathematically projected from a predetermined perspective onto a theoretically "perfect" mathematical model of the desired 3D curved surface.
- the projected lines describe curved lines on the surface which correspond to the edges of the strips required to approximate desired 3D curved surface.
- the projected lines need not be parallel, but this may be preferred for example to simplify mathematical determination of the desired shape of the strips, or to attain a more aesthetically desirable appearance.
- a paraboloidal or other 3D curved surface can thus be constructed using sheet material that can easily be cut to the correct shape using well known water jet or die cutting techniques.
- strips 10 can be mounted on a suitable support frame 12 having a plurality of support ribs 14 sufficiently thick to be capable of maintaining the desired 3D curved shape.
- Strips 10 should be sufficiently thick and/or ribs 14 should be sufficiently numerous to permit strips 10 to be simply deformed into the correct shapes without distorting the strips' shapes at their points of attachment to ribs 14 (i.e. it should be easy to deform strips 10, but the strips should not sag or otherwise depart from their desired curvature where they extend across gaps between ribs 14).
- Adjacent edges of adjacent ones of the simply deformed aligned strips can be bonded together using tape, silicone sealant, rivets, or other similar means or some combination thereof.
- strips 10 can be initially and temporarily held in place on frame 12 with tape until the desired simple deformation and edge alignment of the strips is attained, then silicone sealant can be used to more permanently bond the strips to frame 12.
- the simply deformed, aligned strips can be attached to rigid support frame 12 at selected mounting points such that natural equilibrium deformation between the mounting points holds the simply deformed, aligned strips in a desired approximation of the selected 3D curved surface.
- 3D shape approximations such as architectonic shapes suitable for building construction can be formed.
- the selected 3D curved surface may approximate a spherical, hemispherical or semi-spherical surface.
- Geodesic domes have been used to approximate such spherical surfaces in architectonic applications.
- Geodesic domes are typically formed by interconnecting a plurality of triangular-shaped members (e.g. as shown in Figure 5) or by intercon- necting other suitably shaped members.
- a series of 2D strips 16 can be simply deformed and aligned to more accurately approximate a spherical, hemi-spherical or semi-spherical surface.
- a 3D spherical surface approximation formed of a series of 2D strips as shown in Figure 6 requires only one seam, e.g. as illustrated at 18, between each adjacent pair of strips, eliminating seam intersections as illustrated at 20 in Figure 5.
- 2D strips 16 may be fabricated by a continuous extrusion procedure so as to provide interlockable seams 18 along the opposed longitudinal edges of each strip 16.
- a 3D structure formed of 2D strips having such seams is likely to be more weather tight than a structure having intersecting seams, and may also be more aesthetically appealing in some situations.
