  • Tubular Sculptures
    Tubular Sculptures Carlo H. Séquin CS Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper reviews ways in which many artists have constructed large sculptures from tubular elements, ranging from single cylinders to toroidal or knotted structures, to assemblies of a large number of bent tubes. A few parameterized generators are introduced that facilitate design and evaluation of a variety of such sculptural forms. 1. Introduction Artists like Charles O. Perry have been able to build very large scale sculptures filling volumes of more than 30 feet in diameter at an affordable price by assembling pre-cut and bent tubular pieces. Stellar examples are Eclipse in the Hyatt Regency lobby in San Francisco, or Equinox at the Lincoln Center, Dallas, Texas (Fig.1a). But even much smaller assemblies of tubular elements can make very attractive sculptures. At the small end of this spectrum we find sculptures by Max Bill, e.g., Assembly of three equal cylinders (Fig.1b) [2], or the elegant tubular loops by José de Rivera (Fig.1c) [4]. Additional “minimal sculptures” will be discussed in Section 3. Figure 1: (a) Charles O. Perry: “Equinox;” (b) Max Bill: “Assembly of 3 equal cylinder;” (c) José de Rivera: “Construction #35.” With so many diverse ways of forming attractive sculptures from tubular elements, it seems worthwhile to try to compile an organized overview over the many possibilities and approaches used, and to explore in which ways computer-aided tools may be helpful to create additional, and potentially more complex, artistic structures. In addition, I have a personal, nostalgic reason to write this paper on Tubular Sculptures.

  • The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Part One: a Bowline and Two Hitches
    http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/scrapboardknots.pdf Version 2.2 The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Apparently there are over 2,000 different knots recorded, which is obviously too many for most people to learn. What these pages will attempt to do is teach you seven major knots that should meet most of your needs. These knots are what I like to think of as “gateway knots” in that once you understand them you will also be familiar with a number of variations that will increase your options. Nine times out of ten you will find yourself using one of these knots or a variant. The best way to illustrate what I mean is to jump in and start learning some of these knots and their variations. Part One: A Bowline and Two Hitches. Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. A very simple and useful knot with a somewhat unwieldy name! The round turn with two half hitches can be used to attach a cord to post or another rope when the direction and frequency of strain is variable. The name describes exactly what it is. It can be tied when one end is under strain. If the running end passes under the turn when making the first half-hitch it becomes the Fisherman’s Bend (actually a hitch). The fisherman’s bend is used for applications such as attaching hawsers. It is a little stronger and more secure than the round turn and two half-hitches but harder to untie so do not use it unless the application really needs it.

  • Knots 101 Lunchtime Mini-Session
    Knots 101 Lunchtime mini-session What Will You Learn? 1. Knot Terminology 2. General Knot Information 3. Does Dressing Knots Matter? 4. Tail Lengths 5. Climbing Knots and Their Effect on Breaking Strength 6. Rappel Knots 1. Knot Terminology Knot vs. Hitch vs. Bend We’ve all heard terms like hitch or bend thrown around, but how are those different from a knot? ● Knot – a knot is tied in a rope or piece of webbing. ​ ● Hitch – a hitch connects a rope to another object like a carabiner or even another rope. ​ ● Bend – a bend is a knot that joins two ropes together. ​ What other terms should you know for this session? ● Bight – a bight is a section of rope between the ends. ​ ● Standing end – the standing end or part of the rope is the side that’s not being used during knot ​ tying. ● Working end – the working end or part of the rope is the side that is being used during knot ​ tying. ● Dressing - Knot dressing is the process of arranging a knot in such a way as to improve its ​ performance. Crossing or uncrossing the rope in a specific way, depending on the knot, can increase the knot's strength as well as reduce its jamming potential. ● Setting - The process of tightening it. Improper setting can cause certain knots to underperform. ​ Setting the knot is part of dressing the knot. 2. General Knot Information Relative knot strength, also called knot efficiency, is the breaking strength of a knotted rope in proportion to the breaking strength of the rope without the knot.

  • Knotmaster Program
    Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program Congratulations on embarking on the Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program! The purpose of the Knotmaster Program is to encourage participants to learn to tie a full range of useful and practical knots. By the time you complete the Black level you will have mastered and have at your disposal at least 37 new knots! Goals Of The Knotmaster Program Provide a process and environment to learn knot skills for rank advancement, merit badges and everyday practical situations. Provide opportunities for one-on-one teaching using the E.D.G.E. method. Continually test knotting skills so they are reinforced and improved. Provide opportunities for mastery and advancement with increasingly challenging knot levels. Recognize self-directed effort and achievement and encourage participation. Program Overview Knots are grouped into increasingly challenging levels comprised of 9 knots each. Once a level is completed the participant receives a colored cord to wear on his Knotmaster Carabiner. These colored cords serve to recognize the participant’s achievement, and to identify him as a learning resource for other participants. Upon starting the program the participant receives a basic introduction, along with a practice rope, progress card and knot sheet. The participant may learn knots in any order, and may learn knots from any level at any time. However, he must advance through the levels sequentially. Progress will be tracked on the Knotmaster Progress Card. Participants in the program are known as Knotters. Those who advance to the Black Level are Knotmasters. Troop 1776 - Knotmaster Knot Signoff When a Knotter feels he has mastered a knot sufficiently to be signed off, he can approach any Knotter or Knotmaster who is at least one level higher and ask to be signed off.
