An inner arc (or internal radius structural support) refers to a curved auxiliary component designed to reinforce joints, edges, or load-bearing structures in engineering and construction. Characterized by its concave profile, it integrates seamlessly into angular transitions to distribute stress, enhance durability, and improve structural integrity. Commonly fabricated from steel, aluminum, or composite materials, inner arcs are critical in applications requiring precision and resilience.
Mold Manufacturing: External cylinders (guide pillars) work with bushings to ensure precise closure of upper and lower mold halves.
Automated Machinery: Guide shafts support robotic arms to maintain linear motion accuracy.
Construction Formwork: Cylindrical support tubes stabilize templates during concrete pouring.
A "hidden beam" is a type of beam embedded within floor slabs, shear walls, or other structural components in architectural structures, blending seamlessly with the surrounding elements without visible exposure. Its primary purpose is to enhance the mechanical performance of the structure while maintaining spatial layout and aesthetics.
