The present invention comprises a structure with the same external geometry as a generic hook, but with a topology (internal structuring) that allows a greater distribution of deformation energy to all elements of the part, with load transfer to other less stressed regions. When the present invention is subjected to a loading, said flexible parts deform in a pre-specified manner, transferring part of a loading that would be excessive in a given region to another less loaded region, without any power supply or external interference. In this way, the deformation pattern that occurs in the present invention relieves stresses where they are greatest and, at the same time, provides flexibility (compliance), more adequately distributing coupling loads between the various fastening components.

Abstract

The present invention comprises a structure with the same external geometry as a generic hook, but with a topology (internal structuring) that allows a greater distribution of deformation energy to all elements of the part, with load transfer to other less stressed regions. When the present invention is subjected to a loading, said flexible parts deform in a pre-specified manner, transferring part of a loading that would be excessive in a given region to another less loaded region, without any power supply or external interference. In this way, the deformation pattern that occurs in the present invention relieves stresses where they are greatest and, at the same time, provides flexibility (compliance), more adequately distributing coupling loads between the various fastening components.
