Zero Stiffness Tensegrity Structures

Tension members with a zero rest length allow the construction of tensegrity structures that are in equilibrium over a continuous range of positions and thus exhibit mechanism-like properties; equivalently, they have zero stiffness. The zero-stiffness modes are not internal mechanisms, as they involve first-order changes in member length, but are a direct result of the use of the special tensio...

Symbolic Stiffness Optimization of Planar Tensegrity Structures

During the design of mechanical systems one normally exploits numerical analysis and optimization tools. We make a plea for symbolic computation and give an example where structural displacements under load are computed symbolically. Geometrical design parameters enter in this computation. The set of equilibrium conditions, linear in the displacements, but nonlinear in the design parameters, is...

Designing tensegrity structures

Tensegrity structures are nice-looking and statically strong architectural complexes composed of a set of disjoint struts tied together by cables and nothing more. These structures are known for their aesthetic and structural qualities, which are explored in architecture and art. Their perceived lightness is their distinct visual feature: the heavy elements (the struts) are well disjoint, yet t...

A Primer on the Mechanics of Tensegrity Structures

We outline the formulation of the theory and the more fundamental results regarding the stability analysis of the class of tensegrity structures: structures which are composed of pin-connected inextensible cables and rigid bars.

Symmetric Prismatic Tensegrity Structures

This paper presents a simple and efficient method to determine the self-equilibrated configurations of prismatic tensegrity structures with dihedral symmetry. It is demonstrated that stability of prismatic tensegrity structures is not only determined by the connectivity manner of the members, but also sensitive to the height/radius ratio and the stiffnss/prestress ratio. A catalogue of symmetri...
