Verification of the theory of construction similarities in the connectors

Theory of construction similarity allows creating ordered construction families (series of types, modular construction systems). On the basis of the specific conditions of construction similarity and values of model characteristics, the parameter and dimension values have been determined. For the purpose of practical verification of the conditions of construction similarity the strength verification with MES and practical verification with a ripper have been performed. An attempt at practical verification of the construction similarity has been also performed using the ripper. The tests have been carried out with the use of threaded and welded joints and grippers. For that purpose, on the basis of conditions of construction similarity and dimensions of model construction, the construction series of types has been created.
