THE MODELING OF FIVE-TIERED STRUCTURES IN THE FORM OF HYPERBOLOIDS OF ROTATION AND CHANGES IN LOADS ON NODAL FASTENERS

Abstract

This article studies hyperboloids of rotation (such as the Shukhov tower) made of polymer structures. Laboratory studies were conducted to model the deformations of this type of structures; to study physical loads on polymer elements, depending on the number of mesh shell elements in the diameter of the hyperboloid rotation tier; and to study the deformation of the material of the mesh shell joints. The data show the physical features of such structures and possible changes in the loads in structures made of polymer materials. The article presents the results of studies on the change of loads on nodal fasteners depending on the number of elements forming the tier and the resulting deformations in the lower, middle, and upper nodal joints of the tier elements. It shows the deformation and the resistance of structural elements and other processes with changes in loads. It studies the distribution of loads along the nodal connection of the hyperboloid of rotation, improving these nodal connections and studies changes in loads on joints depending on the number of elements of the tier, their position and the possibility of replacing metal elements with polymer ones.
