Abstract
A strut assembly includes an axially elastically deformable tube assembly comprising a plurality of nested concentric tubes arranged in series and an axially extensible actuator attached between the ends of the tube assembly so that reciprocal extensions of the actuator cause elastic longitudinal displacements of the strut assembly. The tubes are rigidly fixed to one another.
