Numerous recent advances in robotics have been inspired by the biological principle of
tensile integrity—or “tensegrity”—to achieve remarkable feats of dexterity and resilience …

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 …

We present a general approach of design, dynamics, and control for tensegrity morphing
airfoils. Firstly, based on reduced order Class-k tensegrity dynamics, a shape control law for …

This work is motivated by the fundamental questions in engineering mechanics: Does
continuum guarantee a minimal mass structure? What is a more mass efficient way to design …

Tensegrity robots offer several advantageous features, such as being hyper-redundant,
lightweight, shock-resistant, and incorporating wire-driven structures. Despite these benefits …

The name of this software, TsgFEM, is suggested to be pronounced as Tenseg FEM. The
purpose of this package is to facilitate the analysis of statics and dynamics of any tensegrity …

ABSTRACT A tensegrity tower design to support a given payload for the moon mining
operation is proposed in this paper. A non-linear optimization problem for the minimal-mass …

Bifacial PV has emerged as the de-facto choice for utility-scale ground-mounted PV arrays
due to their ability to collect solar irradiance from both the front and rear surfaces. However …

This study presents the design and analysis of deployable cable domes based on the
clustered tensegrity structures (CTS). In this paper, the statics and dynamics equations of the …
