JOINT PERFORMANCE FOR SYSTEM TRUSS

Fem Analysis of Truss Hollow Section Joint

Truss structures are widely used in construction of large-scale buildings. Design of steel structures is standardised in detail through set of European standards called EUROCODE. One of these standards, ENV 1993-1-8 deals with design of joints, but it does not cover the design of conical element for reduction of circular hollow section to the joint. Finite element method was used in this paper ...

A rotational joint for shape morphing space truss structures

A rotational joint is introduced for use in shape morphing or deployable space truss structures. The joint is a chain mechanism comprising up to six pivoted linkages that provide a compact mechanism for the connection of up to six structures at a node. The total number of degrees of freedom for a constrained joint mechanism with six links is found. A closed chain model is then used to determine...

Decision Support System for single truss tomato

Engineering and horticultural research efforts aimed at developing an innovative, controlled environment, plant production system have been completed. In this production system, tomato plants are made transportable and each plant is allowed to produce only one truss of fruit. The main objective of this production system is to secure uninterrupted and predictable quantities of uniform quality to...

TRUSS : AN INTELLIGENT DESIGN SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT WINGS Preston

Competitive leadership in the international marketplace, superiority in national defense, excellence in productivity, and safety of both private and public systems are all national defense goals which are dependent on superior engineering design. In recent years, it has become more evident that early design decisions are critical, and when only based Qn performance often result in products whic...
