I am thrilled to share our latest exciting research — Coupled Rigid-Block Analysis (CRA) — published in the SCI journal Computer-Aided Design.
CRA is a new method to measure structural stability statically and can be used to design complex discrete-element assemblies. It can be applied to many research fields like designing architectures, furniture, 3D puzzles, toys, or even robotic assembly planning. Please see our open-access paper for more details!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my supervisors and co-authors — Philippe, Stelian, Tom, Bernhard, and Antonino — for their guidance to make this research possible. Also, thanks to everyone who helped with this research, including but not limited to Keerthana, Francesco, Sam, Alessandro, Noelle, and my good friends Lenny and Lucas!
Open source code is coming soon!
