A transformable tensegrity-ring footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tension-compression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of ...

Design Aspects of a Deployable Tensegrity-Hollow-rope Footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are composed of cables and struts in a prestressed self-equilibrium. Although tensegrity first appeared in the 1950s, it is seldom used in civil engineering. This paper focuses on the design aspects of a deployable tensegrity-hollow-r ...

An Active Deployable Tensegrity Structure

Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Their stability is provided by a self-stress state among tensioned and compressed members. Although much progress has been made in advancing research into the tensegrit ...

Deployment of a Pentagonal Hollow-Rope Tensegrity Module

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Tensegrity systems are good candidates for adaptive and deployable structures and thus have applications in various engineering fields. A “hollow-rope” tensegrity syste ...

Deployment aspects of a tensegrity-ring pedestrian bridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial systems that are composed of tension and compression components in a self-equilibrated prestress stable state. Although tensegrity systems were first introduced in 1950s, few examples have been used for civil engineering p ...

Active tensegrity structures with sliding cables - static and dynamic behaviour

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali

Tensegrities are spatial, reticulated and lightweight structures that are increasingly investigated as structural solutions for active and deployable structures. Tensegrity systems are composed only of axially loaded elements providing opportunities for ac ...

Analysis of clustered tensegrity structures using a modified dynamic relaxation algorithm

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali

Designing tensegrity modules for pedestrian bridges

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity systems are spatial structures composed of tensile and compression components in a self-equilibrated state of prestress. The tensegrity concept has already been studied by researchers in various fields over the past decades. A family of tensegri ...

Design optimization and dynamic analysis of a tensegrity-based footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Alberto Pascual Albi

Tensegrity structures are spatial structural systems composed of struts and cables with pin-jointed connections. Their stability is provided by the self-stress state in tensioned and compressed members. Although much progress has been made in advancing res ...

Geodesic Patterns

Bailin Deng

Geodesic curves in surfaces are not only minimizers of distance, but they are also the curves of zero geodesic (sideways) curvature. It turns out that this property makes patterns of geodesics the basic geometric entity when dealing with the cladding of a ...
