Abstract: A thin wall profile member (TPM) with a cross-sectional shape and dimensions constant along its length is pre-constructed for use as a load carrying, weight optimized structural element. The TPM has at least one main strip having longitudinal reinforcing ribs and at least one additional strip having longitudinal reinforcing ribs. The at least one additional strip has a width that does not exceed a width of the at least one main strip and has a thickness that equals or exceeds a thickness of the at least one main strip. A ratio of the width of the at least one additional strip to the width of the at least one main strip is in the range of 0.05 to 1.0. A ratio of the thickness of the at least one additional strip to the thickness of the at least one main strip is in the range of 1.0 to 5.0.

Abstract: A thin wall profile member (TPM) with a cross-sectional shape and dimensions constant along its length is pre-constructed for use as a load carrying, weight optimized structural element. The TPM includes at least one main strip and at least one additional strip each having longitudinal reinforcing ribs. The at least one additional strip has a width that does not exceed a width of the at least one main strip and has a thickness that equals or exceeds a thickness of the at least one main strip. The ratio of the width of the at least one additional strip to the width of the at least one main strip has a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1. The ratio of the thickness of the at least one additional strip to the thickness of the at least one main strip has a value that is greater than or equal to 1.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes tools and associated computational analysis methodologies employed therein for improved minimum weight design of thin wall profile members (TPMs). The tools draw on inter-dependent parameters relating to TPM cross-section dimensions ratio values and established constructive restrictions to calculate, using appropriate algorithmic computational analysis, the optimum cross-section dimensions values of a given TPM. A design selection serves as a blueprint for the next stage, which is the actual fabrication or manufacturing of the component. For a given set of constructive restrictions, the final product is based on optimum configurations selected from a fixed set of TPMs with varied cross-sectional shapes.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes tools and associated computational analysis methodologies employed therein for improved TMP and TMP-panel weight-optimization and selection. The tools draw on inter-dependence parameters relating to TPM cross section dimensional ratio values and established constructive restrictions to calculate—using appropriate algorithmic computational analysis the optimal cross section dimensional values of a given TPM. The proposed computational analysis is used in the selection of weight-optimized TPM-panels. A design selection serves as a blueprint for the nest stage which is the actual fabrication or manufacturing of the component. For a given set of constructive restrictions, the final product is based on optimal configurations selected from a fixed set of TMPs with varied cross-shapes; or in the case of TPM panels, on optimum configurations selected from a fixed set of TMP-panel combinations of varied cross-sectional dimensions.

Abstract: The present group of inventions pertains to building and mechanical engineering and can be implemented in structural load-carrying components. Thin webbed profile member is intended for reacting primarily compressive load and is embodied with shape and cross-section dimensions constant along its length. Three variants of thin-webbed profile members are proposed. The novelty is embodiment of the shapes with optimum relation of cross-section dimensions corresponding to minimum mass. Two variants of panel are based on all three variants of thin-webbed profile members installed in longitudinal or in longitudinal and transversal directions. Thin-webbed profile members installed longitudinally form with the sheet the open or closed cross-section configuration. The novelty is embodiment of the panels with optimum relation of cross-section dimensions of thin-webbed profile members, thickness of the sheet, pitch of longitudinal and transversal installation corresponding to minimum mass of the panel.
