Tensegrity Structures : Form, Stability, and Symmetry Hardback
by Jing Yao Zhang, Makoto Ohsaki
Part of the Mathematics for Industry series
Hardback
Description
To facilitate a deeper understanding of tensegrity structures, this book focuses on their two key design problems: self-equilibrium analysis and stability investigation.
In particular, high symmetry properties of the structures are extensively utilized.
Conditions for self-equilibrium as well as super-stability of tensegrity structures are presented in detail.
An analytical method and an efficient numerical method are given for self-equilibrium analysis of tensegrity structures: the analytical method deals with symmetric structures and the numerical method guarantees super-stability.
Utilizing group representation theory, the text further provides analytical super-stability conditions for the structures that are of dihedral as well as tetrahedral symmetry.
This book not only serves as a reference for engineers and scientists but is also a useful source for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.
Keeping this objective in mind, the presentation of the book is self-contained anddetailed, with an abundance of figures and examples.
