1.1 From tensegrity to tensegrity mechanisms

SCROLL TO TOP

1.1.1 Introduction

Tensegrities are mechanical assemblies made up of two types of elements: elements loaded in compression, usually called "bars", and elements loaded in tension, called "cables". These elements are connected at their ends by nodes, which ensure a spherical connection between them. The principle of tensegrity lies in the fact that the bars are held in compression within a network of tensioned cables. A spatial tensegrity known as "T3" is shown in figure...
