Symmetry-Reduced Physics-Informed Learning of Tensegrity Dynamics
Jing Qin, Muhao Chen
Tensegrity structures possess intrinsic geometric symmetries that govern their dynamic behavior. However, most existing physics-informed neural network (PINN) approaches for tenseg…
An extended ordinary state-based peridynamics for non-spherical horizons
Qibang Liu, Muhao Chen, Robert E. Skelton
This work presents an extended ordinary state-based peridynamics (XOSBPD) model for the non-spherical horizons. Based on the OSBPD, we derive the XOSBPD by introducing the Lagrange…
Design and control analysis of a deployable clustered hyperbolic paraboloid cable net
Shuo Ma, Kai Lu, Muhao Chen +1
This paper presents an analytical and experimental design and deployment control analysis of a hyperbolic paraboloid cable net based on clustering actuation strategies. First, the…
Equilibrium and stiffness study of clustered tensegrity structures with the consideration of pulley sizes
Shuo Ma, Yiqian Chen, Muhao Chen +1
This paper presents the equilibrium and stiffness study of clustered tensegrity structures (CTS) considering pulley sizes. We first derive the geometric relationship between cluste…
Dynamics and control of clustered tensegrity systems
Shuo Ma, Muhao Chen, Robert E. Skelton
This paper presents the formulations of nonlinear and linearized statics, dynamics, and control for any clustered tensegrity system (CTS). Based on the Lagrangian method and FEM as…
Minimal mass design of a tensegrity tower for lunar electromagnetic launching
Xiaowen Su, Muhao Chen, Manoranjan Majji +1
Lunar explorations have provided us with information about its abundant resources that can be utilized in orbiting-resource depots as lunar-derived commodities. To reduce the energ…
