recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization"

DOI: 10.1007/s00158-017-1716-2

Abstract: There are two types of problems in tensegrity design: (i) form-finding when the tensegrity shape is not specified and (ii) synthesis when the tensegrity shape is specified. We address synthesis problems in this paper. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2021.112003

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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mechmat.2017.01.009

Abstract: Abstract Traditional approaches for modeling the behavior of tensegrity structures have their origin either on form-finding applications or on the desire to capture their quasi-static behavior. As such, they generally assume that (i) bars are… read more here.
