Turns out, crushing truss is not so easy! Titan AV truss underwent destructive testing in horizontal & vertical directions, because... why not!?
The engineers performed compression tests to better understand how truss uprights react. The results were incredible! The connected 1m span of truss held a massive 20 tonnes.
“That's a very strong beam! 20 tonnes!? That's a lot of pressure. When we're testing structural stuff, when they come to their limit, they (usually) collapse.”
- Daniel Mateus, Technical Officer - USQ
Notably, failure was due to buckling and not a complete collapse of the truss.
“It doesn’t just collapse. It gives you some warning, some protection, so you can unload.”
- Choman Salih, Senior Research Technical Officer (Composite Materials) - USQ
