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.
