Chalkboard not strong enough to resist tension forces
Test model #2, Rahman Student, 2013
We tested out a rail system by making a Rhino model of it. After further consideration we understood that the plywood on a rail, would be difficult. It would not run smoothly on the rail and it would be a big chance that it would break.
In this mechanical system the ribs and the slits were first attempted to model in a cardboard with a thickness of 6mm which didn’t work out that well. The layout is in the first collage as shown. However when the same layout of ribs and plates were attempted in a cardboard of 1 mm thick it functioned well with the pin joint on both sides as seen in the collages below. Hence, when we build a 1:1 scale model we have to use plywood which is very thin in width so that it corresponds well as a model.
Springsteel= Bendable and strong
