Modular constructs are disclosed wherein a plurality of structural members, most often parallel to one another, form spaced-apart layers. Clamping force, applied in some embodiments approximately perpendicularly to a face of each structural member through use of one or more tension assembly comprising a cable, rope, wire, rod, or the like, in association with one or more tubular spacer, is used to draw the structural members into alignment and to provide structural integrity of the modular construct. The subject matter of the present disclosure further relates to processes for creating such layered modular constructs. The subject matter of the present disclosure may find particular application within modular structures, such as, but not limited to, those for aircraft, boats, and other means of transportation, buildings, storage spaces, furniture and cabinetry, modular support systems for electronic equipment, support structures, interfaces, prosthetics, rack systems, modular work partitions, and the like. |
