Abstract:
The present invention relates to a structural element known in the technical field as “tensairity”, which introduces as distinctive elements with respect to the known art: (i) ropes in the shape-memory alloy (SMA) with superelastic (SE) and shape memory (ME) behaviour; (ii) mechanical tensioners for the adjustment of the initial tension in the ropes; (iii) optionally a control apparatus (processor) is connected to electric circuits that induce flow of intensity variable current through the SMA wire ropes; (iv) optionally devices for real-time monitoring of the temperature and the level of tension in the SMA ropes; (v) optionally devices for real-time monitoring of the tensairity oscillations; (vi) optionally new structural geometries capable of sustaining static actions and multidirectional dynamics.

Claim (Index 6):
The tensairity structure according to  claim 4 , wherein it comprises a control unit comprising a series of load, strain and temperature sensors applied at corresponding points of said four or more pairs of ropes, as well as an electronic logic unit configured to adjust the flow of current from said current source to said four or more pairs of ropes on the basis of detections of said series of load, strain and temperature sensors.
