Deployment of a Pentagonal “Hollow-Rope” Tensegrity Module Summary
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Tensegrity systems are good candidates for adaptive and deployable structures and thus have applications in various engineering fields. A “hollow-rope” tensegrity system composed of tensegrity-ring modules has been demonstrated by the authors to be a viable system for a pedestrian bridge. This paper focuses ...
متن کاملA 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...
Interactive Freeform Design of Tensegrity
In this paper, we propose a novel interactive method for flexibly designing tensegrity structures under valid force equilibriums. Unlike previous form-finding techniques that aim to obtain a unique solution by fixing some parameters such as the force densities and lengths of elements, our method provides a design system that allows a user to continuously interact with the form within a multidim...
متن کاملDeployment aspects of a tensegrity-ring pedestrian bridge
Tensegrity structures are spatial systems that are composed of tension and compression components in a selfequilibrated prestress stable state. Although tensegrity systems were first introduced in 1950s, few examples have been used for civil engineering purposes. In this paper, tensegrity-ring modules are used for a deployable pedestrian bridge. Ring modules belong to a special family of tenseg...
