One kind of large deployable antenna (LDA) structure is proposed by combining a number
of basic deployable units in this paper. In order to avoid vibration caused by fast deployment …

Tensegrity structures obtained from the same connectivity patterns are said to belong to
families. The Octahedron and X-Octahedron families are examples of these. In the literature …

The stiffness of cable nets is conditioned by their states of prestress. The decrease of
prestress due to creep of cables determines the serviceability and load bearing capacity of …

Domes and vaults, with or without inner ribs, can be modelled as pin-jointed networks with
all their members in compression. The Force Density Method is one of the most widely used …

This piece of work presents a simple and compact overview of the design problem of
tensegrity structures in two and three dimensions. The main aim of this study is to present …

Point loading has so far received insufficient attention with regard to its influence on
deflections of the membrane structures, although it occurs relatively frequently. It can appear …

Soft cable-driven systems have been employed in many assembled mechanisms, such as
industrial robots, parallel kinematic mechanism machines, medical devices, and humaniform …

Point loads can act on membrane structures; nevertheless, they are rarely checked in the
structural analysis. This is a consequence of the fact that there are no precise instructions …

Este artículo describe una nueva metodología para resolver un problema típico del diseño
de estructuras antifuniculares: cómo obtener una configuración de equilibrio partiendo de …
