Minimal mass design of active tensegrity structures
Tensegrity structures have been widely utilized as lightweight structures due to their high stiffness-to-mass and strength-to-mass ratios. Minimal mass design of tensegrity structures subject to external loads and specific constraints (e.g., member yieldin ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel
The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...
2021Design of adaptive structures through energy minimization: extension to tensegrity
This paper gives a new formulation to design adaptive structures through total energy optimization (TEO). This methodology enables the design of truss as well as tensegrity configurations that are equipped with linear actuators to counteract the effect of ...
