New Cube-based Topological Interlocking Element
Abstract
Abstract. Topological Interlocking Elements (TIEs) offer a novel approach to self-supporting and damage-resistant structures, relying on their geometric constraints rather than traditional adhesives or fasteners. While cubic-based TIEs provide ease ways of fabrication and modularity, their limited contact surface areas reduce load transfer efficiency and structural stability. This study introduces a new cubic-based TIE configuration with enhanced contact surfaces, improving interlocking efficiency and mechanical performance. By employing parametric modeling and geometric analysis, the study evaluates the proposed design against conventional cubic TIEs. This research advances interlocking structural systems by presenting a more efficient and stable cubic-based TIE, contributing to improved structural performance and broader applications in engineering and architecture.
