This model presents the application of member hinges with clearance in steel beams. It provides a precise illustration of how flexibility can be achieved in combination with rigid elements through the targeted use of clearance. A detailed diagram visualizes load conditions and deformations, thus highlighting the technical implementation of the hinge mechanism.
