Excellent- More about Tensegrity Structures Design Methods
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 book presents an original general method for their design, starting with two-dimensional structures and developing to three-dimensional configurations. It is suitable for structural, civil, and mechanical engineers and architects, as well as graduate students.

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 comprehensive introduction presents an original, general method for designing tensegrity structures, the first configurations of which were discovered through 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 is a valuable resource for structural, civil, and mechanical engineers, as well as architects, and graduate students.
