Suspension Footbridge Form-Finding with Laplacian Smoothing Algorithm
In this paper, Laplacian smoothing, which is an algorithm originally used to smooth polygon meshes in computer graphics (CG), is applied to solve a structural form-finding problem with the proof that the result of such algorithm is equivalent to force density method. Such CG algorithm is used on the design of a new-built suspension footbridge in Shaoxing, China and the algorithm works well. Since Laplacian smoothing is a pure geometric algorithm without any mechanical concept, the algorithm shows the inner relationship between force and shape, more structural applicable CG algorithms are expected to be found in the future.
