Design of tensegrity structures by minimizing static compliance
This paper presents a new approach to simultaneously obtain the optimal design parameters of tensegrity structures, including pre-stress force and sectional area of elements. The proposed method is based on minimizing the static compliance in terms of some linear and nonlinear constraints using a ge...
