3D Modeling of Cardioid Dome Dam

Abstract: As the most beautiful and the most romantic curve, the cardioid is designed and#br# applied in arch dam for the first time. In researching the geometric characteristics of cardioid,#br# we find a length of very flat curve in it, which is suitable as the axle wire of arch dam, for it#br# can make the resultant force direction of arch dam deflect to the mountain. Therefore, it has a#br# certain applicable value to research cardioid as a new line type of arch dam. Based on#br# researching various parameters of cardioid dome dam, this article establishes mathematical#br# equations of cardioid dome dam, and adopts 3D modeling. It will provide an accurate model for#br# finite element analysis in next step. And it will also provide more selections and meaningful#br# reference for arch dam designing.#br# Key words: computer application; cardioid; axle wire; dome dam; 3D modeling

Abstract: As the most beautiful and the most romantic curve, the cardioid is designed and
applied in arch dam for the first time. In researching the geometric characteristics of cardioid,
we find a length of very flat curve in it, which is suitable as the axle wire of arch dam, for it
can make the resultant force direction of arch dam deflect to the mountain. Therefore, it has a
certain applicable value to research cardioid as a new line type of arch dam. Based on
researching various parameters of cardioid dome dam, this article establishes mathematical
equations of cardioid dome dam, and adopts 3D modeling. It will provide an accurate model for
finite element analysis in next step. And it will also provide more selections and meaningful
reference for arch dam designing.
