Dynamics management system for a structure using tension and resistance elements

A dynamics management system for a structure, comprising:

• a line having a first end and a second end, said first end of said line configured to be coupled to a first location within the structure;
• a tension resistance device configured to be coupled to a second location within the structure, said tension resistance device generating a first force when a tension force is applied thereto and generating a second force when said tension force is not applied thereto wherein said first force is greater than said second force;
• said second end of said line coupled to said tension resistance device wherein said first force is applied to said line when said line is in tension, and wherein said second force is applied to said line when said line is not in tension;
• and
• said line traversing at least one Z-shaped path within the structure, wherein said at least one Z-shaped path lies in a plane of the structure, said line being coupled to the structure at each inflection point of said at least one Z-shaped path for supporting movement of said line there along;
• wherein the structure is an elongate structure subject to oscillating motion in said plane of said at least one Z-shaped path.

A dynamics management system for an elongate structure, comprising:

• a line having a first end and a second end, said first end of said line configured to be coupled to a first location within the elongate structure;
• a tension resistance device configured to be coupled to a second location within the elongate structure, said tension resistance device generating a first force when a tension force is applied thereto and generating a second force when said tension force is not applied thereto wherein said first force is greater than said second force;
• said second end of said line coupled to said tension resistance device wherein said first force is applied to said line when said line is in tension, and wherein said second force is applied to said line when said line is not in tension;
• and
• said line traversing a plurality of successive Z-shaped paths within the elongate structure, wherein said Z-shaped paths lie in a plane of the elongate structure that is subject to oscillating motion, said line being coupled to the structure at each inflection point of said Z-shaped paths for supporting movement of said line there along.
