transmise le 10 octobre 2011 par Business Wire

Park Electrochemical Corp. announced SIGMA STRUT™, the new name for its patented composite strut design. A strut is a structural load carrying element which transfers loads between two points. The SIGMA STRUT design provides significant weight savings compared to metal struts and other composite struts.

This technique allows the fittings to carry the full load of the strut body without having to rely on bond areas to carry shear loads as with typical designs.
