METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHARACTERISTICS OF SPATIALLY EXTENDED STRUCTURES

摘要

FIELD: construction and mechanical engineering, and other industries. SUBSTANCE: method involves use of one or more members acting on structure; used as such members may be also spatially extended structures placed along main structure, joined with the latter at least at one point; loose ends of these members are tensioned so that directional changes in internal properties occur and additional actions are formed which may be used as controlling ones by varying these tensions according to desired conditions within serviceability limits. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 3 dwg
