Symmetrical reconfiguration of tensegrity structures
In this article we first present a mathematical model which describes the nonlinear dynamics of tensegrity structures. For certain tensegrity structures a particular class of motions, coined symmetrical motions, is defined. The corresponding equations of motion are derived and the conditions under which symmetrical motions occur are established. Reconfiguration procedures through symmetrical mo...
متن کاملShape Control of a Multi-agent System Using Tensegrity Structures
We present a new coordinated control law for a group of vehicles in the plane that stabilizes an arbitrary desired group shape. The control law is derived for an arbitrary shape using models of tensegrity structures which are spatial networks of interconnected struts and cables. The symmetries in the coupled system and the energy-momentum method are used to investigate stability of relative equ...
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 کاملDesigning 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...
متن کاملSymmetric 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...
