  • Publication number: 20220205233
    Abstract: A three-dimensional load bearing structure may include a plurality of load bearing members, or force members, that are joined at a plurality of nodes to define a load bearing structure. The structure may include a plurality of longitudinal members extending in parallel along a longitudinal length of the truss structure, and a plurality of transverse members, joined to the plurality of longitudinal members at nodes, and extending between the plurality of longitudinal members. The plurality of transverse members may provide buckling support to the plurality of longitudinal members, so that an axial load, or compressive load, or buckling load, may be effectively carried by the truss structure.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10584491
    Abstract: A truss structure may include a plurality of load bearing members, or force members, that are joined at a plurality of nodes to define a load bearing structure. The truss structure may include a plurality of longitudinal members extending in parallel along a longitudinal length of the truss structure, and a plurality of transverse members defining a plurality of helical structures. The plurality of helical structures may be joined to the plurality of longitudinal members at corresponding plurality of nodes. The plurality of helical structures may provide buckling support to the plurality of longitudinal members, so that an axial load, or compressive load, or buckling load, may be effectively carried by the truss structure.
