Abstract: Abstract In traditional methods for self-stress determination of a tensegrity structure, member grouping, which highly relies on geometric simplicity of the structure, is a key component. For this reason, these methods are not efficient to… read more here.

Abstract: Lerner's theoretical analysis neglects a normalizing factor which distinguishes states of self stress from the stress response to a unit dipolar force along a bond. This factor leads to different spatial profiles upon ensemble averaging. read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220765
Abstract: The auxetic structures considered in this paper are three-dimensional periodic bar-and-joint frameworks. We start with the specific purpose of obtaining an auxetic design with underlying periodic graph of low valency. Adapting a general methodology, we… read more here.

Abstract: We study geometrical clues of a rigidity transition due to the emergence of a system-spanning state of self-stress in underconstrained systems of individual polygons and spring networks constructed from such polygons. When a polygon with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s0219455420501199
Abstract: In this study, the collapse behavior of a family of tensegrity structures, i.e. di-pyramid (DP) barrel-vaults that can offer promising solutions for civil engineering applications is analyzed. Depending on whether struts’ snap or cables’ rupture… read more here.
