This review paper attempts to provide a useful reference for space habitat designs that
advance the ability of humans to live in space for long periods of time. Five space habitat …

This study presents a finite element analysis approach to nonlinear and linearized tensegrity
dynamics based on the Lagrangian method with nodal coordinate vectors as the …

The goal of this study is to show the feasibility of designing a space habitat that advances
the ability of humans to live in space for long periods. We first review the previous work on …

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 …

This paper presents a minimal mass design approach to the clustered tensegrity structures
(CTS). By minimal mass, we mean, for a given clustered tensegrity structure subject to …

Existing studies on active tensegrity structure optimum design only focus on sizing and/or
shape optimization ie, the structural element topology does not change during the design …

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 …

This study presents a methodology for analyzing wave propagation in tensegrity lattices
within a non-dimensional framework. Two strategies are employed to predict pass bands …

In this paper, we focus on the minimal mass design of a new cable truss structure to support
concentrated vertical loads within a given span, considering both loading and unloading …

Purpose This paper is contributed to find the minimal mass prismatic tensegrity structures.
Design/methodology/approach In the stable state of the structure with any given external …
