Design and Analysis of an Adaptive Bending-Active Plate Gridshell
Phocas, Marios C.; Alexandrou, Kristis; Zakou, Christina (2018)Adaptive structural systems possess the ability of geometrical and mechanical adjustment with regard to changing functional, loading, or environmental conditions. In particular, gridshells following bending-active principles ...

On decoding the structural behaviour of hybrid cable bending-active units in fastening, prestress and load-bearing state:
Phocas, Marios C.; Alexandrou, Kristis (2018)This article examines the structural behaviour of six structural units composed of single, simply paired and paired-interconnected bending-active members, coupl...
