Adaptive control of a deployable tensegrity structure
Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz, Nicolas Willy Veuve
Deployable structures belong to a special class of moveable structures that are capable of form and size change. Controlling movement of deployable structures is important for successful deployment, in-service adaptation and safety. In this paper, measurem ...
2017Towards biomimetic behavior of an active deployable tensegrity structure
Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...
EPFL2016Active control for mid-span connection of a deployable tensegrity footbridge
Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei
Tensegrity structures are spatial self-stressed pin jointed structures where compression components (struts) are surrounded by tension elements. This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connec ...
2016Deployment of a tensegrity footbridge
Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei
Deployable structures are structures that transform their shape from a compact state to an extended in-service position. Structures composed of tension elements that surround compression elements in equilibrium are called tensegrity structures. Tensegritie ...
Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers2015A deployable tensegrity footbridge that connects at mid-span
Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei
This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connects at mid-span. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (strut ...
2015Mid-span connection of a deployable tensegrity footbridge
Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei
This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (struts) in equilibrium. Deployment of two bridge halves is ...
2015Toward development of a biomimetic tensegrity footbridge
Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei
Biomimetic structures interact with their environment, change their properties, learn and self-repair, thereby providing properties that are similar to living organisms. Interactions with the environment involve unique challenges in the field of computatio ...
International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE)2014A transformable tensegrity-footbridge system
Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Nicolas Willy Veuve, René Motro
Tensegrity structures are self-stressed pin-jointed structures composed of cables and struts. They are advantageous systems for transformable applications since structural elements and active elements can be combined. A transformable “hollow-rope” tensegri ...
