Tensegrity systems are space structures of a special nature and their industrial use has not
yet been fully developed. The article describes the state of the art. The systems examined …

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 …

The paper is concerned with the structural mechanics of assemblies of bars and pinjoints,
particularly where they are simultaneously statically and kinematically indeterminate. The …

The purpose of this book is to make contributions to the analytical machinery required to
integrate structure and control design and to show that this optimized structure usually has a …

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 …

I. The topics of this book The concept of a matroid has been known for more than five
decades. Whitney (1935) introduced it as a common generalization of graphs and matrices …

This introduction to the theory of rigid structures explains how to analyze the performance of
built and natural structures under loads, paying special attention to the role of geometry. The …

In order to present basic equations for static and dynamic analyses of a class of truss
structures called tensegrity structures, large-deformation kinematics and kinetics were …

Linearized Lagrangian equations developed in the first part of the paper were employed for
static analyses of cyclic cylindrical tensegrity modules. Linearized equilibrium equations at …

This article deals with the kinematic simulation of movable structures that go through special
configurations of kinematic bifurcation, as they move. A series of algorithms are developed …
