A statement of the purposes of the study

This study examined the stability of two different hexapod frames at increasing strut angles and the possible use of an additional strut to aid stability.

Introduction

Hexapod frames have certain advantages over standard circular frames, however disadvantages include a rattle and instability at some strut angles. This could be particularly important when larger diameter rings are used over a shorter distance resulting in lower ring strut angles such as in the femur.
