Techniques for generating a stable, force-resisting positive or negative representation of a shape. A state-changeable mixture (35) comprises uniform, generally ordered, closely-spaced bodies (8) and a liquid carrier medium (9) of relatively similar density, with the liquid medium (9) filing any voids or interstices (23) between the bodies (8) and excluding air or gas bubbles from the mixture (35). Within the mixture (35), the solid bodies (8) can be caused to transition from a near-liquid or fluent condition of mobility to a stable, force-resisting condition through introduction and then extraction of a slight excess quantity of the carrier medium (9). To create mobility, this excess quantity or transition liquid (10) is introduced to create a fluent condition by providing a slight clearance (23) between the bodies (8) which permits the gently-forced introduction of at least two simultaneous slip planes between ordered bulk masses of the bodies (8) at any point in the mixture (35). Transition to the stable condition is caused by extraction of the transition liquid (10), removing the clearance between bodies (8) and causing them to make stable, consolidated contact.

L'invention concerne des techniques permettant de produire une représentation d'une forme stable de résistance positive ou négative à des forces. Un mélange (35) dont on peut changer l'état comprend des corps (8) uniformes, généralement ordonnés et rapprochés et un milieu porteur liquide (9) de densité relativement similaire, ledit milieu liquide (9) remplissant les vides ou interstices entre les corps (8) et expulsant les bulles d'air ou de gaz du mélange (35). Dans ce mélange (35), les corps solides (8) peuvent passer d'un état de mobilité quasi liquide ou fluide à un état stable de résistance à des forces par le biais de l'introduction puis de l'extraction d'une légère quantité excédentaire du milieu liquide (9). Pour créer la mobilité, cette quantité excédentaire ou liquide de transition (10) est introduite afin de créer un état fluide moyennant un léger dégagement (23) entre les corps (8), ce qui permet l'introduction sous l'effet d'une légère contrainte d'au moins deux plans de glissement simultanés entre des masses en vrac ordonnées des corps (8) à n'importe quel point dans le mélange (35). Le passage à l'état stable est provoqué par l'extraction du liquide de transition (10), qui élimine le dégagement entre les corps (8) et qui amène ces derniers en contact stable et général.
