Compliant structure

Bendable structure with inter locking plates

In the 3th semester we had a one week workshop, where the task was to make a structure with the highest strength to weight ratio possible over a 1,5 meter span.

While all other structures where static, I decided to challenge myself and build a compliant structure. It ended up weighing 290 grams, and was able to hold an impressive 35kg point load. The structure was gradually bending under the first 0-8kg load, and then holding static from 8-35kg before eventually snapping.

With increased pressure the structure sinks and settles when all plates interlocks

I hope that you find my work inspiring and I encourage you to use it as much as you like. I do however demand that you credit my work.
