A comparative Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of two design solutions. Провел сравнительный анализ методом конечных элементов (МКЭ) двух конструктивных решений.
The classic approach with a fully flattened tube proved to be a failure, while the new design featuring a partially crimped tube and an integrated hub demonstrated a massive increase in the factor of safety and reliability. Engineering is in the details!
Geodesic Domes: From Burning Man's Dust Storms to Utopian Horizons
In the scorching Nevada desert, where Burning Man—the festival of radical self-expression and art—takes place annually, geodesic domes have become a key part of the landscape. These lightweight, multifaceted structures, designed by Buckminster Fuller, are increasingly seen amid sandy dunes and dust storms. In 2024, they shielded Orgy Dome participants from the weather, served as projection platforms in the Man Pavilion, and even turned into "tourist bunkers" with mystical lights, as noted by enthusiasts on Reddit.

Geodesic Dome Structures for Glamping: 6.4 Meter Frame Example
One of the main goals in this project was to optimize the frame's grid layout. I usually design the bottom row using equal-length segments, but in this case I had to manually adjust the grid after running the macro.
