This chapter traces down the roots of the first man-made objects which resemble what are
nowadays known as tensegrity structures. It then shows how the tensegrity concept evolved …

A numerical method is presented for form-finding of tensegrity structures. Eigenvalue
analysis and spectral decomposition are carried out iteratively to find the feasible set of force …

This paper hands in a review of the basic issues about the statics of tensegrity structures.
Definitions and notation for the most important concepts, borrowed from the vast existing …

This article is a state-of-art review on static structural computations for pin-jointed structures,
revising the last forty years of scientific research on the subject matter through the …

We propose an efficient method for the form-finding of tensegrity structures. The force
densities of each tensegrity are obtained by the minimisation of a particular objective …

This study proposes a general computational framework for the form-finding of tensegrity
structures. The procedure is divided into two stages in which the member force densities and …

We develop a new formulation for the form-finding of tensegrity structures in which the
primary variables are the Cartesian components of element lengths. Both an analytical and …

Many large-scale tensegrity structures are formed by assembling repeating units; a
tensegrity tower formed by stacking tensegrity prisms is one example. Tessellated tensegrity …

This study mainly focuses on initial prestress design of tensegrity structures with given
shapes. For symmetric structures with multiple self-stress modes, two efficient methods …

Tensegrity structures are a class of free-standing and prestressed cable-strut structures.
Different from traditional elastic structures, both geometric shapes and initial prestress …
