- 4Solid Structurea solid structure is formed from a solid piece or combination of pieces. It has little or no space inside and relies on its own mass to resist the forces that act on it.
It is usually stronger than frame and shell structures, but usually massive and harder to move. - 5Frame structureIt is made up of a rigid arrangement of parts fastened together. Strength comes from the way the components are joined
Individually, no one component of a frame structure is as strong as the components combined. Compared to a solid structure, frame structures are lighter because they use less material
Can be 2D or 3D - 6Shell structureHas a solid outer surface that may be rounded or flat
The inside of the structure is hollow
Shell structures with a rounded outer surface are usually stronger than those with a flat outer surface. This is because curved areas distribute the load around the whole surface. The hollow interior of shell structures means that they are lighter than solid and most frame structures - 7AestheticsThe pleasing appearance or effect an object has because of its design.
