Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a truss structure. The methods comprise: increasing a distance between a first end fitting coupled to a first node and a second end fitting coupled to a second node by actuating a flexure member to cause cup member of first end fitting to move in a first direction toward the first node; inserting a tube between the first and second end fittings; receiving a first end of the tube in an insert space of the second end fitting; decreasing the distance between the first end fitting and the second end fitting by actuating the flexure member to cause at least the cup member of the first end fitting to move in an opposing second direction away from the first node; and receiving a second end of the tube in an insert space of the first end fitting to provide a portion of the truss structure.
