Linear Closed-form Solution and Finite-element Analysis of an Active Tensegrity Unit

Results of the linear closed form solution of an active or adaptive tensegrity unit, as well as its numerical analysis using finite element method are presented in the paper. The shape of the unit is an octahedral cell with a square base and it is formed by thirteen members (four bottom and four top...
