Effect of Strut Geometric Imperfections on the Internal Forces Distribution in Tensegrity Structures

Abstract

AbstractTensegrity structures are valued for their distinctive look, deployability, and potential for active control, making them attractive candidates for applications in civil engineering, architectural, and space structures. Recent large-scale ...Practical ApplicationsTensegrity has been discussed by engineers and architects for decades. However, the number of tensegrity structures built as part of civil engineering and architectural projects is extremely limited worldwide. There are several ...
