On the additive manufacturing, post-tensioning and testing of bi-material tensegrity structures
A. Amendola, E. Hernandez-Nava, R. Goodall +3
An investigation on the additive manufacturing and the experimental testing of 3D models of tensegrity prisms and columns is presented. An electron beam melting facility (Arcam EBM…
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…
On the mechanical modeling of the extreme softening/stiffening response of axially loaded tensegrity prisms
Fernando Fraternali, Gerardo Carpentieri, Ada Amendola
We study the geometrically nonlinear behavior of uniformly compressed tensegrity prisms, through fully elastic and rigid--elastic models. The presented models predict a variety of…
