Optimization of tensegrity structures
… to solve the optimization of articulated structures and especially looks into the performance of tensegrity systems compared to regular trusses. Volume is the objective to minimize and a wide range of constraints can be considered from the required mechanical constraints to more …

Kinematic Analysis of Tensegrity Structures
Tensegrity structures consist of isolated compression members (rigid bars) suspended by a continuous network of tension members (cables). Tensegrity structures can be used as variable geometry truss (VGT) mechanisms by actuating links to change their length. This paper will present a new method of …

Evolutionary Based Methodology for Form -Finding and Design of Tensegrity Structures
… package which can both create and optimize tensegrity structures, by adding structural analysis and optimization criteria to fitness evaluation. As an example, tensegrity towers for mobile communication are designed.

Multi-Layered Randomized Architected Materials (MLRAM) as damage detection indicators for tensegrity structures
… of architected material inspired by polymeric structures and explores two central research themes. The first is whether data-driven models can accurately and efficiently predict material properties, offering computational and time advantages over traditional numerical approaches, while the …

Active control of tensegrity structures and its applications using Linear Quadratic Regulator algorithms
… of responsive architecture has inspired the idea structures which are adaptable and change in order to better fit the user. This idea can be extended to structural engineering with the implementing of structures which change to better take on their external loading. The following text explores the …

Optimisation et prédimensionnement des treillis, arcs, poutres et câbles sur base d'indicateurs morphologiques; application aux structures soumises en partie ou en totalité au flambement
… thesis is about the optimization and design of structures (trusses, cables, arches, beams) thanks to dimensionless numbers called morphological indicators. A good summary of this method can be read in the inroduction and conclusion of the following article: Latteur Pierre, Feron Jonas, Denoël …

Design, Fabrication and Testing of Fiber-Reinforced Cellular Structures with Tensegrity Behavior using 3D Printed Sand Molds
… improve the structural performance of cellular structures in bending applications by incorporating tensegrity behavior using long continuous fibers. The designs are inspired by the hierarchical cellular structure composition present in pomelo fruit and the structural behavior of tensegrity …

Modeling and Control of Tensegrity-Membrane Systems
Tensegrity-membrane systems are a class of new bar-tendon-membrane systems. Such novel systems can be treated as extensions of tensegrity structures and are generally lightweight and deployable. These two major advantages enable tensegrity-membrane systems to become one of the most promising …

Hybrid And Smart Topologically Interlocking Materials
… design was proposed by combining the concept of tensegrity, observed in biological structures, and, topological interlocking. The design proposed embedding the interlocked assembly in a woven net of fiber tows. These fiber tows now held the unit elements together replacing the previously used …
