abstract

  • 2002 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. This class of structure, with a continuous network of tension members and a discontinuous network of compression members, will be called a Class 1 tensegrity structure. The important lessons learned from the tensegrity structure of the spider fiber are that 1. Structural members never reverse their role. The compressive members never take tension and, of course, tension members never take compression.
