strut

Examples of strut in the following topics:

• Bronze Sculpture in the Greek Early Classical Period

  • Struts, or supports, were added to help buttress the weight of the marble as well as hanging limbs that did not need support when the statue was originally made in the lighter and hollow bronze.
  • The struts appeared either as rectangular blocks that connect an arm to the torso or as tree stumps against the leg, which supports the weight of the sculpture, as in this Roman copy of the Diadoumenos Atenas.
  • The extension connecting the tree trunk to the leg of the figure is an example of a strut used in marble Roman copies of original Greek bronzes.

• Characteristics of Birds

  • They contain air spaces that are sometimes connected to air sacs and they have struts of bone to provide structural reinforcement.

• Connective Tissues: Bone, Adipose, and Blood

  • Spongy bone is made of tiny plates called trabeculae, which serve as struts, giving the spongy bone strength.

• Architecture during the Tang Dynasty

  • The hall does not contain any interior columns or a ceiling, nor are there any struts supporting the roof in between the columns.

• Defining a Successful Delivery

  • Oh, there be players that I have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly, not to speak it profanely, that, neither having the accent of Christians nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.
