1. A clamp comprising:
a clamp band having a band surface;
a first beam element at a first portion of the band surface;
a second beam element at a second portion of the band surface;
a mount, a first portion of the mount at the first beam element opposite the first portion of the band surface and a second portion of the mount at the second beam element opposite the second portion of the band surface; and
a tightening mechanism coupled to the first beam element and the second beam element that imparts a compressive force on the first and second beam elements, the compressive force in turn imparting an inward force at the band surface of the clamp band, wherein the compressive force of the tightening mechanism causes the first beam element and second beam element to interlock.
