This project involves the design and calibration of a spring system simulation to visualize the nonlinear relationship between the flat sheet and the resulting complex 3D shapes in Frustrated Ceramics. presents a novel approach to sustainable construction using Frustrated Ceramics, a self-morphing clay material system that enables on-site, mold-free shaping. The system layers two types of clay with different shrinkage rates, forming a flat sheet that transforms into a complex 3D shape during firing due to geometrical incompatibilities. the spring system captures the dynamic transformation from a flat state to intricate morphologies. This simulation tool is essential for understanding the self-morphing process, providing architects and designers with a visual and predictive model to explore and control the unique material behaviors of Frustrated Ceramics.
