Analytical Investigations on Elementary Nexorades
Nexorades or reciprocal frames can be seen as a practical way to reduce the complexity of connections in spatial structures by connecting reciprocally the members by pairs. This reduction of the technological complexity of the connections is however replaced by a geometrical complexity due to numerous compatibility constraints. The purpose of this article is to make explicit these constraints for elementary structures and to solve analytically the resulting system of equations. Applications to regular polyhedrons are presented and a practical realization (a 3 m high dodeca-icosahedron) is shown. In the brief conclusion, perspectives for complementary analytical developments for spatial structures are drawn forth.
