Design and analysis of deployable clustered tensegrity cable domes
Shuo Ma, Muhao Chen, Xingfei Yuan +1
This study presents the design and analysis of deployable cable domes based on the clustered tensegrity structures (CTS). In this paper, the statics and dynamics equations of the C…
Tensegrity system dynamics based on finite element method
Shuo Ma, Muhao Chen, Robert E. Skelton
This study presents a finite element analysis approach to non-linear and linearized tensegrity dynamics based on the Lagrangian method with nodal coordinate vectors as the generali…
Integrating Structure, Information Architecture and Control Design: Application to Tensegrity Systems
Raman Goyal, Manoranjan Majji, Robert E. Skelton
A novel unified approach to jointly optimize structural design parameters, actuator and sensor precision and controller parameters is presented in this paper. The joint optimizatio…
Robust Shape Control of Gyroscopic Tensegrity Robotic Arm
Raman Goyal, Manoranjan Majji, Robert E. Skelton
This paper proposes a model-based approach to control the shape of a tensegrity system by driving its node position locations. The nonlinear dynamics of the tensegrity system is us…
Markov Data-Based Reference Tracking of Tensegrity Morphing Airfoils
Yuling Shen, Muhao Chen, Manoranjan Majji +1
This letter presents a data-based control design for reference tracking applications. This design finds the optimal control sequence, which minimizes a quadratic cost function cons…
Deployable Tensegrity Lunar Tower
Muhao Chen, Raman Goyal, Manoranjan Majji +1
A tensegrity tower design to support a given payload for the moon mining operation is proposed in this paper. A non-linear optimization problem for the minimal-mass structure desig…
Parametric Design of Minimal Mass Tensegrity Bridges Under Yielding and Buckling Constraints
Gerardo Carpentieri, Robert E. Skelton, Fernando Fraternali
This paper investigates the use of the most fundamental elements; cables for tension and bars for compression, in the search for the most efficient bridges. Stable arrangements of…
Experimental investigation of the softening-stiffening response of tensegrity prisms under compressive loading
Ada Amendola, Fernando Fraternali, Gerardo Carpentieri +2
The present paper is concerned with the formulation of new assembly methods of bi-material tensegrity prisms, and the experimental characterization of the compressive response of s…
