Abstract
Domes are structure which encloses
maximum space with minimum surface area and
they are economical too. To improve the application
function and structural characteristics of single
reticulated dome, a hybrid type of dome is proposed.
Here a combination of schwedler dome and
Diamatic dome with different configuration are
used. Eight domes where modelled, including
schwedler dome, Diamatic domes and its hybrid
domes using ANSYS 16.2 parametric design
language (APDL).
Eigen value buckling analysis and static analysis is
carried out for obtain the structural performance of
different dome with same span and height. First
hybrid shows good structural performance compare
to lattice dome. Hybrid domes are very economical
and they show good structural features.
