Resonance sweeps, strain heatmaps, and yield-stress fracture
Upgraded BuckyBounce into a structural mechanics laboratory featuring 6 allotropes, harmonic resonance sweeps, and catastrophic bond fracture. Expanded the geometry engine beyond to generate fullerenes, armchair carbon nanotubes, graphene honeycomb sheets, geodesic domes, and 6-strut tensegrity icosahedrons with isolated compression bars suspended in continuous tension networks. Implemented a harmonic driving oscillator to sweep excitation frequencies () and reveal natural eigenmode vibrations in real time. Dynamic vertex shaders map Hooke's strain tensors into thermal heatmaps (cyan yellow red), triggering covalent bond snapping when local strain exceeds yield strength—complete with a laser-weld synthesis tool to reconstruct shattered lattices atom by atom.
