On the Geometrically Nonlinear Elastic Response of Class θ = 1 Tensegrity Prisms

On the Geometrically Nonlinear Elastic Response of Class θ = 1 Tensegrity Prisms

The present work studies the geometrically nonlinear response of class θ = 1 tensegrity prisms modeled as a collection of elastic springs reacting in tension (strings or cables) or compression (bars), under uniform uniaxial loading. The incremental equilibrium equations of the structure are numerica...
