  Space frame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A space frame is a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern.
Space frames were independently developed by Buckminster Fuller in the 1950s and Alexander Graham Bell around 1900.
Space frames are an increasingly common architectural technique especially for large roof spans in modernist commercial and industrial buildings.

 frame
The frame can be read as a self-contained semiotic element as well as a catalyst of semiological inquiry, identifying crucial debates within the designated content, and establishing the vocabulary common to the independent system in question.
The analogy of the windowpane reveals the role of a frame as the marker of a place where a medium (and/or a message) can operate, and therefore constitutes a transition from the composition of the frame and its filler to the manifestations of their interrelationship.
Although the examples and permutations of frame activity are infinite, it is important to recognize that framing content in these media becomes a question of genre; when structure and content perform this interplay, the structure of the medium (to bastardize Marshall McLuhan) does indeed become its message.

 Space Elevator Visions
The carrier space frame structure would have to be tougher and much more expensive overall but its basic form could remain the same, though a lot of the added 'packaging' has to be dismantled on orbit using robots.
The space frame truss used for the tether carrier package is the foundation of the initial GEO facility and this role is largely the reason for its space frame based design.
Construction of this plane space frame would be one of the first orders of business for the Upstation and part of the initial truss package could include a telerobotic manipulator arm similar to the MK Robotics Canada Arm deployed on the ISS to facilitate its assembly.

 Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Car
The front suspension is attached to the space frame via a bolted aluminium sub-frame, so protecting it from damage during low-level collisions.
The resultant space frame is expected to have a weight of 92kg and an associated torsional rigidity of around 15,00ONm/degree.
Consequently, the space frame and occupants should not be subjected to a critical peak load.

 Sean Hanna: Antony Gormley's Body / Space / Frame
Antony Gormley's Body / Space / Frame is a 25 metre high open steel lattice in the shape of a crouching figure, sited on the end of an 800 metre polder and facing outward from the coast of the Zuiderzee.
The algorithm was run within a cellular automaton model constructed on the topoligically irregular mesh of the body scan, in which the sensitivity of each cell was weighted in proportion to its local degree of curvature.
The geometric concept that evolved in design was that of an external skin of open polygons, a sort of tensile net resembling bubbles or sea foam, surrounding a triangulated interior of 'starbursts' of structural members.

 AutoZine Technical School - Chassis
Tubular space frame chassis employs dozens of circular-section tubes (some may use square-section tubes for easier connection to the body panels, though circular section provides the maximum strength), position in different directions to provide mechanical strength against forces from anywhere.
While ladder, tubular space frame and backbone chassis provides only the stress members and need to build the body around them, monoque chassis is already incoporated with the body in a single piece, as you can see in the above picture showing a Volvo V70.
As the shell is shaped to benefit space efficiency rather than strength, and the pressed sheet metal is not as strong as metal tubes or extruded metal, the rigidity-to-weight ratio is also the lowest among all kinds of chassis bar the ancient ladder chassis.

 SPACE.com -- Einstein's Warped View of Space Confirmed
Earth's spin warps space around the planet, according to a new study that confirms a key prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
And as early as 1996, Ciufolini's team saw signs of frame dragging on the Earth-orbiting satellites in their study, but the initial results had a high degree of error owing to the lack of knowledge about Earth's gravity field, which is not symmetric.
Meanwhile, other studies have shown that fl holes indeed spin, and that frame dragging plays an important role in spewing tremendous jets of material out of the environments around fl holes.
