Kiewitt-type adaptive rope dome with actuators

摘要

The adaptive Kiewitt-type rope dome with actuating elements, without or with a top ring, consists of tensile stressed ridge ropes (1), diagonal ropes (2), rope rings (3) and vertically situated pressed rods, which are formed as actuating elements (4). ). The system is anchored to the contour support subsystem (5). By applying the initial prestressing forces to the rope structural elements, the desired geometric shape of the system, its tension, rigidity and stability are achieved. Each element of the system is permanently monitored by means of force sensors (6) and control electronics (7), which record the actual values of quantities in real time. These are evaluated by means of a computer system (8). In case the forces in the ropes and bars rise above or fall below the required level of defined reliability criteria, the computer system (8) determines such sizes and directions of movements of the actuating elements (4) (shortening or lengthening) by means of the actuating movement control device (9). elements) in order to achieve a redistribution of forces in the system that ensures that the specified reliability conditions are met.
