The issue of forming curved surfaces of geometric elements is not a new subject, but all the previous studies in this area dealt with the use of spatial or plane geometric elements, consisting of one or several models. These elements had fixed thickness.
The new feature in this research is the use of spatial geometric elements with a single model, and a single measure automatically adjustable when paving elements to form a curved surface.
The spatial component is composed of plane objects that are solid plates connected to each other through a free to rotate.
The element has been designed so that hinge the amendment of one parameter (d) results in a change of the angle value between each two adjacent elements and thus have a large variety of adjustable curved surfaces.
