Five Barco MiTrix cubes, which consisted of three LED panels that faced towards the audience and one supporting panel that faced the stage, were suspended by rigs throughout the stage.
Subsequently, detailed sizing optimization is conducted by using a novel criterion which describes the best solution in terms of weight distribution of both the outer supporting panels and inner stiffener plates.
A combined model coupling two-dimensional computational fluid dynamic simulation and non-linear structural analysis was used to analyse the behaviour of the elastically supported panel when interacting with the wind.
For the permeable cladding case, the wake flow of the elastically supported panel was shown to be free of large scale turbulent eddies when analysed by numerical simulations.
The activity of the MTs is coordinated by the Support Panel (SP).
For a simply supported panel, the equations of motion of the aforementioned theories, as well as of the corresponding classical theories, are solved by using Galerkin's method.
The cases of simply supported panel, cantilevered and a two-span panel are used to demonstrate numerically the differences in the overall response of the panel as well as in the near vicinity of the localized loads and supports.
Stability analysis for a simply supported panel shows the effects of material and geometric parameters, in-plane restraint and temperature conditions, and imperfection on the nonlinear response of the panel.
We used two-by-fours to build a ledge on either side panel to hold the frame's cross supports, and Luca secured the support panels with screws.
These results are useful for the design of periodically supported panels subjected to jet noise and random convected pressure fields.
