Algebraic tensegrity form-finding
This paper concerns the form-finding problem for general and symmetric tensegrity structures with shape constraints. A number of different geometries are treated and several fundamental properties of tensegrity structures are identified that simplify the form-finding problem. The concept of a tensegrity invariance (similarity) transformation is defined and it is shown that tensegrity equilibriu...
متن کاملOptimization of tensegrity structures
This paper concerns the design of tensegrity structures with optimal mass-to-stiffness ratio. Starting from an initial layout that defines the largest set of allowed element connections, the procedure seeks the topology, geometry and prestress of the structure that yields optimal designs for different loading scenarios. The design constraints include strength constraints for all elements of the...
متن کاملStructural Optimization of Motion Structure using Constraint Force Design Method
1. Abstract This research develops a new structural optimization method for foldable motion structure with repeated rigid-body mechanism cell. Compared with conventional rigid-body mechanism, there are many kinematic advantages of a motion structure as it can achieve large shape transformation for real applications such as satellite solar panels, space antennas to shelters, and swimming pool co...
متن کاملFinding tensegrity structures: Geometric and symbolic approaches
Two examples of a particular kind of form-finding problems are studied; given a set of fixed points, we ask for the position of an extra point such that a given framework admits a self-stress and hence a tensegrity structure can be built from it. We present two different approaches to solve these problems: The first method is geometric and hence more visual. A symbolic method is proposed as a s...
متن کاملComplexity of the Tensegrity Structure for Dynamic Energy and Force Distribution of Cytoskeleton during Cell Spreading
Cytoskeleton plays important roles in intracellular force equilibrium and extracellular force transmission from/to attaching substrate through focal adhesions (FAs). Numerical simulations of intracellular force distribution to describe dynamic cell behaviors are still limited. The tensegrity structure comprises tension-supporting cables and compression-supporting struts that represent the actin...
