Abstract
A truss connected to a structure via a fixed rod end attachment and at least one swing-link attachment. A first beam of the truss is connected to a frame member of the structure via a fixed rod end attachment, which locates the truss relative to the frame of the structure. Remaining beams of the truss to be connected to the frame of the structure are attached via swing-link attachments, which can pivot relative to the beam of the truss and the frame of the structure to allow relative movement between the beam and frame. The relative movement allows the structure to flex without imparting additional loads in the truss or the frame of the structure.
