Materials:(材料)
-Paper for blueprint (11 x 17
inches)(设计蓝图)
-1/2 box linguine (or
spaghetti)(半包意面)
-10-12 glue sticks (4 inch
mini’s)(点胶棒)
-Mini-hot glue
(low-temp)(类似502的胶水,或热熔胶、AB胶)
STEPS TO BUILD YOUR OWN PASTA BRIDGE!
步骤:
STEP 1: Research Bridge Truss
designs. (研究桥梁桁架的设计)
(这个链接有一些介绍)Link to for Bridge Resources (WD-STEM
Bridge Site)
STEP 2: Blueprint. Draw an
exact drawing of the SIDE-VIEW of your
truss.(按照1:1的尺寸画设计图)
<<Must “span” 40 cm. (The opening is 40 cm).
(它的要求是跨度40cm以上,也就是说,你的桥应该设计得比40cm还要长)
*This is an adaptation of
the Whipple Truss.(这是Whipple桁架的演化版,我增加了一些对角,并保持中线对称)
*I added extra diagonal supports to the center (around
where the block will be.)
**In my next design, I’ll have the diagonals meet exactly in
the center, rather than off-center.
STEP 3: Glue two strands of
pasta together the length of the truss along the
bottom.(黏合底部两条梁)
<<THE FIRST TWO STRANDS ARE HERE.
STEP 4: Glue the outside frame
and verticals.(黏合外框)
STEP 5: GLUE the
diagonals.
**You
can measure them before glueing, OR
as illustrated, glue then cut off the
extra…carefully!(黏合对角线。可在黏合前测量,或如图所示,黏合后切断多余的,这时候要非常小心!)
STEP 6: Do it again! Make a
second truss
for the other side.(同样把对侧做好)
STEP 7:
BLUEPRINT #2: The bottom frame
(a.k.a. “the frame for the roadbed/deck)(设计并画出底部蓝图)
<<Notice the cross bars of the bottom frame line up
with the vertical braces on the truss.
(注意底部边框线与上桁架的垂直支架的位置关系)
STEP 8: GLUE the frame for the bottom.(黏合底部框架)
STEP 9: Glue the
roadbed/deck onto
the bottom frame.(黏合底部“桥面”)
<<Hole in the middle for the eye-hook!(中间的孔是为了放承重块的)
<<Full length spaghetti that crosses next to each other in
the middle section (where the block will
be!).(有些部分的意面是重叠粘贴的,这样可以延伸长度并且增加强度)
STEP 10: Glue bottom frame to one
truss. (It’s easier to glue
together with the truss on its side.)
(将底部和两侧桁架黏合)
STEP 11: Glue the other truss on the other side of the bottom
frame.
**Make sure the sides are straight
up!(保证桁架垂直!)
STEP 12:
Measure how wide the bottom of the bridge is.
Break pieces this size to connect the trusses.
Then glue the trusses together with the
pieces.(用合适长度的连接梁黏合两片衍架)
<<Top view. Glued across and
diagonally.(俯视图,包括横向连接和斜向连接)
STEP 13: Add the block (5x5x2 cm) and eye-hook.
Hang over 2
tables with a 35 cm span.(这是他的测试,只在35cm跨度下,别忘了我们的比赛要求是40cm)
STEP 14: TEST!
Put a sheet or tarp under your bridge.
*Attach a large cup or bucket to the eye-hook.
*Slowly add measured weight until it breaks! (or almost
breaks…)(逐渐加压直至桥梁垮塌或即将垮塌…)
