结构形态学与现代空间结构

结构形态学从整体上研究结构形式与其受力性能之间的关系，研究内容较广泛，具有多学科交叉的特点，但尚未形成基本理论体系。空间结构是典型的形效结构，而且形式丰富多样，如何实现新颖结构形式与合理结构性能之间的协调统一是空间结构设计中的关键问题。因此，结构形态学的研究对空间结构的创新发展具有重要意义。通过对结构形态学的研究范畴与发展脉络的阐述，为结构形态学提出一个较为明确的定义；结合张力结构、自由曲面结构、自由拓扑结构等现代空间结构形式对结构形态学的研究进展情况进行评述，重点介绍了作者团队近年来在这方面的研究与实践。

Structural morphology and modern space structures

The structural morphology focuses on the relationship between structural form and its mechanical behavior, which has extensive research contents and a characteristic of intersection of multi-subject, and it has not formed basic theoretical system till now. The space structure is a kind of form-active structures and always has rich and varied forms. How to realize the harmony between the innovative form and reasonable performance is the key problem for the design of such structures. Therefore the research on structural morphology plays an important significance on theinnovative development of space structures. The research categories and development vein of the structural morphology are discussed firstly, and a relatively cleardefinition of ‘Structural Morphology’is given. Then, with the introduction to the developmentof several categories of modern space structures, such as tensile structures, free-form structures, free-topology structures, a comment on the research process of structural morphology is emphatically made. In addition, some achievements in research and practice by the authors’ research team gained in recent years are emphatically introduced.
