Tensegrity Systems
Tensegrity Systems discusses analytical tools to design energy efficient and lightweight structures employing the concept of “tensegrity.” This word is Buckminister Fuller''s contraction of the words “Tensile” and “Integrity,” which suggests that integrity or, as we would say, stability of the structure comes from tension. In a tensegrity structure the rigid bodies (the bars) might not have any co...
