ABSTRACT:
A flexurally, axially and transversely stiff link for providing a connection of low torsional stiffness between structural elements. The link includes an elongate flexurally stiff tapered beam extending longitudinally inside a filament-wound composite tube of low torsional stiffness and an elastomeric bearing interposed between the small end of the beam and the tube. An inboard connector assembly connects the beam and tube to one of the structural elements, and an outboard connector assembly connects the tube to the other structural element. Tensile loads are carried by the tube; however, when torque is applied, the elastomeric material permits the tube to twist relative to the beam while enabling shear loads to be transferred therebetween. Modified embodiments of links having enhanced flexural and tensile load carrying capabilities are disclosed.
