Offshore compliant structures such as guyed platforms, tension leg platforms and articulated
towers are economically attractive for deep-water conditions because of their reduced …

This research identifies the time-varying wind load from the responses of a structure. The
fluctuating wind speed process is simulated as an ergodic multivariate stochastic process …

The present study proposes a novel flexibility-based approach for the large displacement
analysis of guyed masts. The guyed mast is modeled as an equivalent beam–column …

In this paper, a method to obtain effective continuum beam stiffness properties of tensegrity
towers with n struts in each bay is developed. Long tensegrity towers for space applications …

Lattice towers and guyed masts are frequently used in the telecommunication industry,
particularly to support antennas. These structural systems comprise a large number of …

Spacecraft having extended configurations must be stowed for launch compactly, with final
stiffness adequate to maintain shape and stability under dynamic disturbances. The …

A new formulation for the analysis of guyed towers in which the mast is modeled as a
continuous equivalent beam-column on non-linear elastic supports, is proposed. Because …

Spatial lattice structures are structures made up of a large number of simple elements such
as legs, diagonals and struts. Due to this large number of elements that are part of the …

The load-carrying performance for deployable lunar tower architectures using thin-ply
composite booms is parametrically evaluated. These towers support a communications and …

The static and dynamic responses of guyed telecommunication towers can be determined
by using two models, the space truss element model, and the equivalent beam-column …
