Linear dynamics of tensegrity structures Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The linearized equations of motion for tensegrity structures around arbitrary equilibrium configurations are derived. For certain tensegrity structures which yield particular equilibrium configurations of practical interest, the linearized models of their dynamics around these configurations are presented. Evidence which indicates that these equilibria are stable is given and some stiffness and dynamic properties of these structures are investigated. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
