A prestressed cable-strut structure is usually regarded as a mechanism before being
prestressed. Under the action of initial prestresses, the internal infinitesimal mechanisms …

Epithelial monolayers are the simplest tissues in multicellular organisms, yet they play a vital
role in many physiological processes, including development, growth, and wound healing …

This paper presents the energy-efficient cable-actuation strategy studies of the V-Expander
tensegrity subject to different shape changes based on the nonlinear tensegrity dynamics …

This paper presents a versatile form-finding method for tensegrity structures that is based on
solving a constrained optimization problem. A general constrained optimization model …

The cable dome is one of the most widely used structures in cable-strut tensile structures. A
new topology of the tensegrity system is firstly proposed, and combined with the circular …

Many large-scale tensegrity structures are formed by assembling repeating units; a
tensegrity tower formed by stacking tensegrity prisms is one example. Tessellated tensegrity …

The process of finding an equilibrium configuration, called form-finding, is a key step in the
design of a tensegrity structure. An efficient form-finding method based on the optimization …

In traditional methods for self-stress determination of a tensegrity structure, member
grouping, which highly relies on geometric simplicity of the structure, is a key component …

This article is a state-of-art review on static structural computations for pin-jointed structures,
revising the last forty years of scientific research on the subject matter through the …

This paper presents a sliding cable element for multibody system analysis. Unlike the
existing literature on sliding cables developed using the finite element approach, the novelty …
