Abstract: An efficient and nonlinear form-finding method is proposed for symmetric cable–strut structures with complex geometry or many nodes. Expressed in the symmetry-adapted coordinate system, the first block matrix of the symmetry-adapted tangent stiffness matrix is… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract A group-theoretical method is proposed for form-finding of symmetric cable-strut structures. Only the given topology and structural symmetry are necessary for implementing this form-finding process. Irreducible representations for rigid-body translations along d directions are… read more here.
