ABSTRACT:
This invention consists of a structural element assembled from a three-dimensional cantilever beam with coupled flexural and torsional rigidity, and the combining into a cell of two or more of these elements. The cells shall be combined to take the place of helical compression and tension springs. The three-dimensional cantilever shall have an open section with top and bottom flanges parallel to the plan of the beam, the top and bottom flanges being connected with a web normal to the plan. The support end of the beam shall be hinged with a pin normal to the plan and passing through both top and bottom flanges and the support structure. The spring constant for this beam shall be varied by generating a bimoment in the flanges at the pinned end. These structural elements and cells can be economically made by any structural fabricator by welding together metal plates and structural members.
