Abstract:This article brings a geometric proposal which can be applied to the bar structures. The starting point is the substitution of the usual knots in a structural web by a system of combining the bars tivo by two, which is achieved by twisting the bars in each knot. The tensile forces that appear and the introduction of joints in each of these knots allow the transition from a rigid or undeformablegeometiy to a neiv flexible" one leading to the possibility of one and the same structural web adopting different size… Show more
