hello,

I work on tensegrity structures, this structures gain mechanical stability by maintaining a pre-equilibrated state using two types of elements:

cables –elements that are always in tension and struts - elements that are always in compressive.

This pre-equilibrated state, in which the internal forces (compression and tension) stabilize the structure, is termed self-stress, also called prestress.

Stable tensegrity can be classified into two groups: stable redundant and stable statically determinate,

also named first-order rigidity and second-order rigidity, respectively.

We developed a method for checking the stability of statically determinate tensegrity structures, that based on the analysis of the mechanisms theory.
