Dynamic Self-Compensating Volume Deformation Support System
US Patent:

Filed:
Oct 18, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/734723
Inventors:

US Classification:
405229
Abstract:
A dynamic, self compensating constant volume deformation support system includes a sealed constant volume containment chamber including a base and a rigid peripheral wall; a load-carrying deformable plate carried by and attached to the peripheral wall; a non-compressible fluid within the containment chamber supporting the plate and responding to a negative deflection created by an applied load to the plate by creating an opposite and offsetting pressure uniformly distributed on the underside of the plate for creating a positive deflection of the plate and producing a net deflection an order of magnitude lower than normally induced by the applied load.
