@nuarle of @kinetica_ will give a lecture to the audience at the Computational Design: NEXT 6.0 conference (@cdnext). - Join now, link in bio or: http://parametric-architecture.com/cd-next/ - Leonardo has been in charge of building and leading kinetica’s Computational Design department, one of a kind among architectural fabrication companies. He’s also in charge of Kinetica’s Advanced Robotic Manufacturing Site. He’s been involved in several High Profile projects for architects such as Foster+Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, and Heatherwick Studio. - Project above: concrete paneling at 520W 28th st Luxury Apartment Building by Zaha Hadid Architects. . . . @cdnext @parametric.architecture @designmorphine @ekimroyrp @pa.next @hamithz @thepaacademy #arch #zahahadid #workshop #webinar #structure #tensile #3dmodeling #artist #parametric #parametricdesign #parametricarchitecture #computationaldesign #computational #computation #grasshopper3d #rhino3d #rhinoceros3d #generative #algorithm #design #art #architecture #conference #superarchitects #nextarch #concrete #architecturestudent #cdnext (at 𝓣𝓱𝒆 𝓤𝒏𝒊𝓿𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTXRYGdlC7a/?utm_medium=tumblr

5/8/21 clamp test day

I am back in the lab ready to test the clamps I have been designing with a friend.

I am still working out the kinks in my data collection methods but today I start official tensile strength trial runs with my 3D printed clamps.

I designed these clamps so I can test the bamboo in multiple planes with security and uniformity.

Feels good to create something and put it to good use.

I hope everyone has a great saturday!

Freshly cast Garamont is a winner, printed over landscape created with bubble wrap. Text begins Percy Bysshe Shelley’s seductive poem “Love’s Philosophy,” used to explore our love affair with plastic.

The fairy tale ‘Rapunzel’ features a princess with a lifesaving head of hair. Could someone really use their hair as a ladder? Sort of.

In the classic fairy tale, the princess Rapunzel is trapped high in a tower. A dashing prince comes to rescue her. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” he calls. She unfurls her lengthy locks, draping them out the tower window. The prince then climbs up that magic hair to rescue his lady love. The story is obviously fiction. (If Rapunzel had such a handy ladder, one wonders why she didn’t just rescue herself.) But there may be a little truth behind a human hair-based escape. Science, it turns out, has found that hair is some super strong stuff. A prince (or princess) would actually have few problems climbing a rope made of human hair. The challenge would be growing such a lengthy mane in the first place.

Hair is strong. Really strong. A single human hair can take a force of 200 megapascals. This is its tensile strength — how much load it can take before breaking. Pressure is measured in pascals. A pascal is the amount of mass something can take per square meter of material. One megapascal is 1,000,000 pascals. In the case of a human hair, 200 megapascals is 20,000,000 kilograms of force per square meter of human hair.

Those are some big numbers. They mean that a single strand of hair is about half as strong as a piece of steel the same size, notes Ray Goldstein. He studies biological physics — the physics of living materials — at the University of Cambridge in England. Among the things he’s studied is the physics of ponytails.

Wen Yang is a materials scientist at the University of California in San Diego. She’s performed studies on the strength of human hair. She has compared hair’s strength to a finger lifting a loaded shopping bag. Not just any bag of food. If your finger were as strong as a bundle of human hair the same size, that one bag could hold 11,340,000 kilograms (2,500,000 pounds)!

Hair’s buffness comes from its structure, Yang explains. “You might [use an] example of the Russian matryoshka doll,” she says. “Inside the biggest doll (the hair), there are millions or more of the smaller dolls.” Those smaller dolls are tiny protein chains. They’re contained within an area called the cortex. The chains are layered together and covered with an outer coating called the cuticle (KEW-tih-kul). “The cuticle looks like a fish scale,” Yang says. It holds the protein bundles of the cortex together.
