For a long time considered the most perfect examples of furniture design, based on the laws of a single-span frame. Free point contact with the floor legs, tapering down to form tightly connected to the bolt, are consistent with the change effort, resulting in the construction of the bending moment.
Frame construction, furniture makers, craftsmen known since ancient times, has spread in the architectural practice only since the mid XX century. With this comprehension of the tectonic structural system involves the emergence of new architectural forms, which are fundamentally different from traditional. The most successful example of a frame construction - the building of the Secretariat of UNESCO in Paris. Tectonics seating radically changed when in 1940, was invented to get rid of gravity shell space frame chairs, although long before that man has used this design pattern to create objects, labor, transportation, etc..
Prototypes of tectonic forms of real environments are diverse forms of nature. Thus, the spatial rigidity of shell eggs, the shell of cancer, shells, flower petals, leaves, and wood is provided by the originality of their curved surfaces.
Designers and is now studying and applying the appropriate design principles, a highly efficient forms found in nature, and achieved great economic impact in creating their image of new types of real protection and improvement of existing. The success of this work certainly contributes to the level of development of modern science, a profound knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of materials, new methods and tools for structural analysis.
The general principle of spatial design was used on the tectonic forms of modern phones, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and many other products. Automotive body, for example, has high strength due to the fact that it consists of pressed sheet steel.
Spatial structures in particular are widely used in many areas. A special form, capable of withstanding the resistance to the environment, to ensure balance, sustainable position in the movement of the body and rigidity, is predetermined by the specificity of the tectonics of moving objects. Resistance environment is taken into account, for example, in a streamlined hull of the ship or car, as well as in the axial composition bicycle. |
