Graphical Model for Compression Struts that Integrates Material and Form in Structural Design

SUMMARY A graphical approach to the design of structural elements that integrates the selection of material and geometric form is discussed. The concept is introduced with an example chart for optimizing a strong light beam. This is followed by a detailed derivation of the composite chart which models the more complex problem of compression struts. Examples of the procedures associated with this chart are given, and the advantages of implementing this design aid in the form of computer software are highlighted.
