Equilibrium conditions of a tensegrity structure
This paper characterizes the necessary and sufficient conditions for tensegrity equilibria. Static models of tensegrity structures are reduced to linear algebra problems, after first characterizing the problem in a vector space where direction cosines are not needed. This is possible by describing the components of all member vectors. While our approach enlarges (by a factor of 3) the vector sp...
متن کاملPhotoelastic Determination of Mixed Mode Stress Intensity Factors
A two dimensional finite model with inclined crack at different crack angles are being analyzed in mixed mode condition using photo elasticity method for the determination of Stress Intensity Factors. The well-known Sih’s equation and three points deterministic approach is used for the determination of stress intensity factors. The effects of biaxial load factor, crack angle, size factors were ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Conditions of Class 1 Tensegrity Structures
ABSTRACT. Static models of tensegrity structures are reduced to linear algebra problems, after first characterizing the problem in a vector space where direction cosines are not needed. That is, we describe the components of all member vectors as opposed to the usual practice of characterizing the statics problem in terms of the magnitude of tension vectors. While our approach enlarges (by a fa...
متن کاملRolling Locomotion of Deformable Tensegrity Structure
In this paper, we propose that a deformable robot with a tensegrity structure can crawl and describe its performance in practical experiments and a gait description. We apply Miller index in crystallography to describe the gait of a prototype, and then classify two contact conditions of the prototype. We demonstrate rolling of a six-strut tensegrity to confirm the movement of the prototype from...
متن کاملA multi-modular tensegrity model of an actin stress fiber.
Stress fibers are contractile bundles in the cytoskeleton that stabilize cell structure by exerting traction forces on the extracellular matrix. Individual stress fibers are molecular bundles composed of parallel actin and myosin filaments linked by various actin-binding proteins, which are organized end-on-end in a sarcomere-like pattern within an elongated three-dimensional network. While mea...
