A transformable tensegrity-ring footbridge
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tensioncompression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of freedom simultaneously. Tensegrityring modules are transformable circuit-pattern modules. The linear combination of tensegrity rings has been...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Active vibration control of a three-stage tensegrity structure
This experimental study demonstrates the efficiency of simple control strategies to damp a 3-stage tensegrity tower structure. The tower is mounted on a moving support which is excited with a limited bandwidth random signal (filtered white noise) by a shaker. Our goal is to minimize the transmissibility between base acceleration and top plate acceleration using piezoelectric displacement actuat...
متن کاملDistributed Control for Tensegrity Robots
Exploration of our solar system increasingly involves physical interaction with the environment, requiring innovation in fields such as robotic manipulation (TA 4.2.1.3: New forms of sample handling, digging, grappling, etc) and extreme terrain access (TA 4.2.1.2: New means of accessing the sides of cliffs, craters, and other extreme locations). In both cases, NASA desires lightweight (TA 12.2....
متن کاملImplementation of an Active Mass Damper to Control Vibrations in a “lively” Footbridge
This paper describes the work involving a real implementation of an active control system to reduce vibrations in a “lively” footbridge located at FEUP. This structure has some natural frequencies around 2Hz which can be easily excited by some pedestrian activities. Although the levels of vibration may not be considered excessive according to some design codes, this footbridge experiments regul...
