Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed systems of cables and bars
in which no bar is connected to the other and the structure has no
continuous rigid skeleton. This general introduction presents an
original general method for the design of tensegrity structures,
the first configurations of which were found by trial and error.
The book begins with two-dimensional tensegrity structures,
particularly tensegrity nets, tensegrity chains, tensegrity rings
and tensegrity arches. These are then developed to original
configurations of spatial tensegrity structures such as tensegrity
slabs, primitive spatial tensegrity arches, and primitive
tensegrity domes, as well as more elaborate spatial tensegrity
structures such as tensegrity cylindrical shells, slim tensegrity
domes, tensegrity vaults, and tensegrity caps. Presents a robust
new approach to the design of tensegrity structures Extends
tensegrity structures to new three-dimensional configurations
Tensegrity Structures Design Methods suits structural, civil, and
mechanical engineers and architects, as well as graduate students.
