Behaviour of Space Frame with Innovative Connector
The hollow circular tube is the most efficient section of space structure because of its lightweight and load resistance. Flatted end tube with a bolted connection is being the most economical connection with fast assembly, easy to transport, easy to maintain and easy to repair for space truss. This flatted end tube is connected with welded plates by bolting jointly, provided that welded plates are in the direction of force to avoid eccentricity in the space truss. A connector is an extremely important part of a prefabricated system and the final commercial of structural connections of all types has been the subject of intensive research during the last decade. Investigation into the behaviour of flatted, flattened and tapered flattened end tube is the main objective of the present work. Flatted, flattened and tapered end tube of 3-D space structure with an innovative connector is modelled in Catia. The performance is checked by Ansys analysis and results are discussed. The research on flattened and tapered end tube connector for steel tube space structure is the main contribution to this research work. The flattened and tapered flattened end tube connector shows better performance as compared to flatted end tube connector.
