Thermal-difference compensation for structural members
Abstract
Aluminum-thermal difference link maintains constant length of strut despite environmental temperature changes. An extension spring decreases load on the compensator drive linkage when strut is in tension, when strut is in compression, a compression spring is used. Perforated titanium outer tube exposes link to external heat.
