Abstract: This study proposes a general framework for topology-finding or topology optimization of tensegrity structures. The existing topology-finding formulation of tensegrity structures based on mixed-integer linear programming ...

Abstract: This study develops stability conditions for general tensegrity regarding the three stability criteria (e.g., prestress stability, general stability, and super stability) based on an energy approach. The coupling ...

Abstract: Continuous cables are widespread in various fields, and mechanical analysis is an important issue in their application. The structural responses of frictional continuous cable systems under external loads are related to ...
