Automated Modeling of Three‐Dimensional Structural Components Using Irregular Lattices
Abstract: Irregular lattices are used to model three‐dimensional (3D) structural components consisting of a bulk material, curvilinear reinforcement, and their interface. Domain discretization is highly automated and involves the semi‐random placement of nodal points within the domain, followed by Voronoi tessellation of the nodal point set. A technique is given for the Voronoi partitioning of nonconvex domains. For discretizing nonconvex domains, and for effective gradation of nodal point density, a minimum allowable distance between nodes is maintained and the domain is saturated with nodes. To accelerate this computationally expensive operation, a partitioned domain search is used during the filling process. Reinforcement, and its interface with the bulk material, are discretely modeled and freely positioned in the domain, irrespective of the geometry of the irregular lattice representing the bulk material. This method of discretization facilitates model construction, results interpretation, and possible revisions to the model. While the focus is on automated domain discretization and the modeling of reinforcement, elastic properties of the model are demonstrated through examples involving nodal stress calculations and deflection analyses of prestressed concrete beams.
