need help on glass dome

Submitted by sergio_cohen on Thu, 2007-07-05 17:05.

Well, after months studying, practicing and modeling on domes, finally they asking me to build a real one.

Should be a 2 mt radio, all glass, to be on top of a roof.
Kind of stressed skin done.
Im not architect, but modeling is coming ok.

The real thing:
- freq.3 dome
- 2 mt radio
- laminated glass 6mm
- "F" aluminum 1,6 mm

(need two of them screwed together and bend it 12 degrees.)

Is there anyone on this insitute who can give me some advice on calculating structures, weights, etc. ??
Anyone made similar one?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio (argentina)
