Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If vertical or symmetric slanting member elements are used in structural supports, then the structure is simple to manufacture and install, but the mechanical stability under shear, compressive and tensile stress is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by configuring secondary members with non-symmetric angles relative to the primary member. Specifically, the secondary members extend at different angles from the primary member, creating an asymmetric structural pattern that optimizes stress distribution. This asymmetric geometry enhances mechanical stability under shear, compressive, and tensile loads while maintaining manufacturability through standard fabrication processes.
2Strength
If asymmetric opposing angles are introduced to improve mechanical stability, then stress distribution is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by varying the angles of secondary members at specific locations along the primary member. Each secondary member is positioned and angled according to local stress requirements, with angles optimized for their specific position. This allows the structure to achieve superior stress distribution while maintaining reasonable manufacturing tolerances, as each local variation serves a specific functional purpose rather than requiring uniform high precision throughout.
