If you look at some pictures of familiar frame structures like cranes, electricity pylons or roof supports you may notice that triangulation is used to make them rigid. By adding an extra bar or member, the structure then cannot be forced out of shape, and is said to be rigid.
What structures use triangulation?
The roof trusses (top) and floor beams (bottom) at Shelly & Sons show repeated use of triangulation for building materials. These swings at West Rockhill Elementary School use triangulation in the support structures. A camera tripod features three collapsible legs for strong support.
How many triangles are in a pylon?
Steffen's flexible polyhedron has 14 triangular faces, 21 edges and 9 vertices. This image is taken from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, which enables you to download a demonstration of the polyhedron flexing.
