(...) And those would be the compression members of the truss. (...) At just a glance (i.e. no proper analysis), I imagine that when you "leaned" on it, you'll have a few members in tension somewhere in the structure. The structure will deflect very (...)

(...) I'm guessing the members would delaminate (the plates capping the double beams would separate) especially if the loading is cyclical. I still think a long column will describe the behaviour more so than a truss because of the length. I don't (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You're comparing apples to oranges here. Within a truss, you will have members in compression. Column analysis (i.e. Euler buckling, and the like) can be applied to those memebers. To say that it behaves more like a slender column than a truss (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
