RP 12-3 – Integrative Methods for Hybrid Bio-fibre Timber Composite Systems

Integrative Methods for Hybrid Bio-fibre Timber Composite Systems

Research Project 12-3 (RP 12-3)

INTEGRATIVE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN AND ENGINEERING METHODS FOR NOVEL HYBRID BIO-FIBRE TIMBER COMPOSITE SYSTEMS

This project develops an integrated computational design and engineering framework for hybrid bio-fibre timber composite structures. The framework combines computer vision, mechanical analysis, real-time monitoring, and situated visualisation to address two critical challenges: performance predictability and material efficiency in fully bio-based structural systems. Building on IntCDC's research in natural fibre composites, which have achieved structural weight reductions of up to one-fiftieth of equivalent concrete systems, the project addresses three fundamental limitations: unreliable and slow data integration, high material variability, and joint performance as the primary failure bottleneck.

The project advances natural fibre building systems and coreless filament winding towards circularity and resource efficiency, while developing multi-material systems that address structural performance and multi-agent fabrication. Combining design support with fibre-optic sensor monitoring, the approach leverages optimisation algorithms, redundancy distributions, and uncertainty visualisation to improve predictability and reduce material requirements. Real-time sensor- and vision-based feedback loops link fabrication data to the digital model, enabling cyber-physical prefabrication with on-the-fly adaptation of robotic process parameters and continuous, automated safety assessment. Novel fibrous joint geometries maintain fibre continuity while minimising stress concentrations. Modular system designs enable building stock retrofitting for urban densification. Software tools and validated datasets disseminated through IntCDC and DaRUS facilitate broader knowledge transfer and demonstrate pathways toward resource-efficient, circular building practices.

  @article{DuqueEstrada_2026, abstract = {The advancement of digital fabrication technologies and computational design has expanded the possibilities in architecture and construction. These technologies enable the creation of innovative structures and the exploration of non-standard materials, resulting in a new understanding of the design process and the development of advanced digital tools. Among these innovations, coreless filament winding, a robotic fabrication process, has facilitated new applications of fiber-polymer composites in architecture over the past decade. Coreless wound structures are characterized by a sequential and emergent nature, where the final geometry is shaped by material behavior. As a result, these structures are inherently difficult to predict, requiring constant feedback between digital models and physical prototypes due to the limited availability of fast, accessible simulation methods. This paper presents a simulation method developed to address this gap by supporting the early design stage of coreless wound fiber structures. The method incorporates relevant design and fabrication parameters while maintaining a necessary level of abstraction to ensure efficiency and accessibility. A case study was conducted to evaluate the simulation’s accuracy and examine the influence of different parameters on the final geometry. The study benchmarks a set of digitally simulated fiber specimens against their physical counterparts. The physical behavior of the fiber elements was captured using a monitoring method that scans the structure after each fiber segment is wound, enabling the observation of material behavior throughout the process. The results demonstrate the method’s efficacy, showing an average displacement deviation of -20 mm and high precision in fiber interaction, with 73% of specimens achieving 100% accuracy in generating intersection points. Furthermore, the study assesses the influence of design and fabrication parameters on fiber behavior, enabling informed decisions in early-stage design. By introducing an accessible and computationally efficient simulation method, the research aims to contribute to the field by providing efficient, early-stage feedback and an initial understanding of material behavior in coreless filament winding, while also identifying current limitations and directions for future research.}, author = {Duque Estrada, Rebeca and Balangé, Laura and Zechmeister, Christoph and Hartmann, Valentin Noah and Kannenberg, Fabian and Toussaint, Marc and Schwieger, Volker and Menges, Achim}, doi = {10.1093/jcde/qwag031}, issn = {2288-5048}, journal = {Journal of Computational Design and Engineering}, month = {03}, publisher = {Oxford University Press (OUP)}, title = {Bridging Physical and Digital Domains of Coreless Wound Fibrous Structures: Benchmarking a Simulation Method}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jcde/qwag031}, year = 2026 }

Timber and natural fiber polymer composites (NFPC) are combined into a hybrid system, offering opportunities to leverage their strengths while balancing the use of natural resources. The system performs synergistically, with each material fulfilling complementary roles. Timber extrapolates its structural function by acting as an embedded frame for the fibers to be wound on. The paper presents computational methods designed to optimize material performance while integrating functionalities and fabrication opportunities. A dual-robot winding method is presented as a solution for balancing winding tension in the structure during fabrication. The hybrid system is demonstrated through the design and construction of a pavilion, the first to combine flax fibers with a partially bio-based resin and timber into a dual-robotically fabricated structure on an architectural scale.

Algorithms for from-region PVS have an inherently high complexity. Previous from-region PVS algorithms propagate occlusion through the scene in a front-to-back manner and are order-dependent, which places bounds on parallelism and restricts execution speed. We introduce the disocclusion buffer, which operates on a sparse, layered representation of the scene with quantized depth. In this representation, we invert the traditional PVS problem formulation and explicitly compute disocclusion rather than occlusion. Disocclusion can be computed in parallel in an order-independent manner, overcoming the main bottleneck in traditional PVS computation. Our PVS algorithm is over six times faster than the previous state of the art at the same level of accuracy in a direct comparison. It runs in shaders on the GPU without requiring any hardware extensions. We demonstrate how our work outperforms previous PVS algorithms in the range of supported camera motion without compromising quality.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, articleno = {36}, author = {K\"{u}nzel, Sebastian and Geringer, Sergej and Ngo, Quynh Quang and Voglreiter, Philip and Weiskopf, Daniel and Schmalstieg, Dieter}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Conference Papers}, doi = {10.1145/3757377.3763981}, isbn = {9798400721373}, month = {12}, numpages = {12}, pages = {1-12}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, series = {SA Conference Papers '25}, title = {Potentially Visible Set Generation with the Disocclusion Buffer}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1145/3757377.3763981}, year = 2025 }

In our design study with domain experts, we developed a visual analytics framework for exploring and analyzing fitness landscapes spanning data, projection, and visualization layers. Within the data layer, we employ two surrogate models and three sampling strategies to efficiently generate a wide array of landscapes. On the projection layer, we use star coordinates and UMAP as two alternative methods for obtaining a 2D embedding of the design space. Our interactive user interface can visualize fitness landscapes as a continuous density map or a discrete glyph-based map. We investigate the influence of surrogate models and sampling strategies on the resulting fitness landscapes in a parameter study.

We construct the graph sequence by ordering the individual graphs based on specific criteria, such as time for dynamic networks. To achieve scalability with respect to long sequences, we partition the sequence into equal-sized subsequences. Each subsequence is represented by a horizontal axis placed between two vertical axes. The horizontal axis depicts the order within the subsequence, while the two vertical axes depict the source and destination vertices. Edges within each subsequence are depicted as segmented lines extending from the source vertices on the left to the destination vertices on the right throughout the entire subsequence, and only the segments corresponding to the sequence members where the edges occur are drawn. By partitioning the sequence, STEP provides an overview of the graphs’ structural changes and avoids aspect ratio distortion. We showcase the utility of STEP for two realistic datasets. Additionally, we evaluate our approach by qualitatively comparing it against three state-of-the-art techniques using synthetic graphs with varying complexities.

It presents a combination of the relatively new field of architected materials with a load-independent performance indicator from theoretical structural mechanics. The redundancy matrix by itself provides a measure for structural assessment that is independent of a specific load case. Various layouts of the MLRAM samples and recorded testing allow the analysis of the redundancy distribution within the structure as it undergoes failure. An in-depth analysis of the tested MLRAM samples is provided, as they show a high degree of static indeterminacy and thus, multiple different load paths. A special focus lies on the change of the redundancy distribution as global progressive failure happens. Another focus is set on the investigation of the failure initiation, meaning that the redundancy distribution can help to identify critical elements. A simple introductory example shows the interdependence between the variation of the geometric location of nodes and the redundancy distribution. The study shows, that the distribution of static indeterminacy can be used as a measure to quantify vulnerability to failure and rank the individual element's importance. Furthermore, progressive collapse is identified as a series of local effects in the highly statically indeterminate MLRAM samples, underlining the fact that the spatial distribution of static indeterminacy is of central importance for the assessment of structural safety.}, author = {Forster, David and Paul, Sagnik and Bischoff, Manfred and Sychterz, Ann C.}, doi = {10.1115/1.4065840}, journal = {ASME Journal of Applied Mechanics}, title = {Structural Assessment of Architected Material Using the Redundancy Matrix and Experimental Testing}, year = 2024 }

  @article{GilPérezData2023, abstract = {{The linear design workflow for structural systems, involving a multitude of iterative loops and specialists, obstructs disruptive innovations. During design iterations, vast amounts of data in different reference systems, origins, and significance are generated. This data is often not directly comparable or is not collected at all, which implies a great unused potential for advancements in the process. In this paper, a novel workflow to process and analyse the data sets in a unified reference frame is proposed. From this, differently sophisticated iteration loops can be derived. The developed methods are presented within a case study using coreless filament winding as an exemplary fabrication process within an architectural context. This additive manufacturing process, using fiber-reinforced plastics, exhibits great potential for efficient structures when its intrinsic parameter variations can be minimized. The presented method aims to make data sets comparable by identifying the steps each data set needs to undergo (acquisition, pre-processing, mapping, post-processing, analysis, and evaluation). These processes are imperative to provide the means to find domain interrelations, which in the future can provide quantitative results that will help to inform the design process, making it more reliable, and allowing for the reduction of safety factors. The results of the case study demonstrate the data set processes, proving the necessity of these methods for the comprehensive inter-domain data comparison.}}, author = {Gil Pérez, Marta and Mindermann, Pascal and Zechmeister, Christoph and Forster, David and Guo, Yanan and Hügle, Sebastian and Kannenberg, Fabian and Balangé, Laura and Schwieger, Volker and Middendorf, Peter and Bischoff, Manfred and Menges, Achim and Gresser, Götz T and Knippers, Jan}, doi = {10.1093/jcde/qwad064}, eprint = {https://academic.oup.com/jcde/article-pdf/10/4/1460/50882055/qwad064.pdf}, issn = {2288-5048}, journal = {Journal of Computational Design and Engineering}, month = {06}, number = 4, pages = {1460-1478}, title = {{Data processing, analysis, and evaluation methods for co-design of coreless filament-wound building systems}}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/jcde/qwad064}, volume = 10, year = 2023 }

Their application in modular, prefabricated structures allows for material-efficient and fast production under tightly controlled conditions leading to high-quality building parts with minimal production waste. Plant fibers made of flax or hemp have high stiffness and strength values and their production consumes less non-renewable energy than glass or carbon fibers. However, the introduction of natural material systems increases uncertainties in structural performance and fabrication parameters. The development process of coreless wound composite parts must thus be approached from the bottom up, treating the material system as an integral part of design and evaluation. Existing design and fabrication methods, as well as equipment, are adjusted to emphasize material aspects throughout the development, increasing the importance of material characterization and scalability evaluation. The reciprocity of material characterization and the fabrication process is highlighted and contributes to a non-linear, cyclical workflow.

This was achieved by diminishing the required formwork of state-of-the-art filament winding to discrete boundary frames. Then, impregnated fibers are wound between them, forming lightweight lattice structures. A series of pavilions at the University demonstrated the system's potential and enabled the transfer of CFW into practice, bringing along other engineering challenges, such as the requirement to prove structural integrity and safety. The BUGA Fibre Pavilion was the first long-span application using CFW. In this project, a series of full-scale structural tests successfully proved the structural capacity of the composite components. Maison Fibre expanded the research toward multi-story building systems and explored the combination of CFW components with timber plates as hybrid slabs. To improve the sustainability aspects of the system, the LivMatS Pavilion replaced the previously used carbon and glass fibers with natural fibers. This pavilion achieved different materiality, showing the potential of bio-composite filament wound structures.

It shows the potential to converge architectural concerns such as spatial expression and structural elegance, with urgently required resource effectiveness and material efficiency, in a genuinely computational approach. Fundamental characteristics of fibre composite are shared with fibre structures in the natural world, enabling the transfer of design principles and providing a vast repertoire of inspiration. Robotic fabrication based on coreless filament winding, a technique to deposit resin impregnated fibre filaments with only minimal formwork, as well as integrative computational design methods are imperative to the development of complex fibrous building systems. Two projects, the BUGA Fibre Pavilion as an example for long-span structures, and Maison Fibre as an example of multi-storey architecture, showcase the application of those techniques in an architectural context and highlight areas of further research opportunities. The highly interrelated aesthetic, structural and fabrication characteristics of fibre nets are difficult to understand and go beyond a designer’s comprehension and intuition. An AI powered, self-learning agent system aims to extend and thoroughly explore the design space of fibre structures to unlock the full design potential coreless filament winding offers. In order to ensure feedback between all relevant design and performance criteria and enable interdisciplinary convergence, these novel design methods are embedded in a larger co-design framework. It formalizes the interaction of involved interdisciplinary domains and allows for interactive collaboration based on a central data model, serving as a base for design optimisation and exploration.

It also helps in providing multiple methods for supporting the claim that a work is “scalable.” Our model is centered around an effort function with inputs and outputs. The inputs are the problem size and resources, whereas the outputs are the actual efforts, for instance, in terms of computational run time or visual clutter. We select representative examples to illustrate different approaches and facets of what scalability can mean in visualization literature.
