The topology finding algorithm of tensegrity structures based on scheme matrix strategy

Xiaodong Feng et al.

Summary: A scheme matrix algorithm based on 0 and -1 topological codes is proposed to find the topological form of tensegrity structures with multiple self-stress modes. The structural evaluative tactic reflecting structural stiffness, elastic strain energy, and prestress uniformity is considered in the process, with two illustrative examples thoroughly investigated to prove the effectiveness and feasibility of the method. The optimal topological configuration of tensegrities can be obtained through analysis of weight coefficients and parametric sensitivity, providing theoretical guidance for practical design.

Buckling of square and hexagonal semi-rigid rings by concentrated loads

C. Y. Wang

Summary: This paper explores rings with rigid segments and rotationally flexible joints under compressive forces, finding exact closed-form expressions for the buckling forces through geometry and symmetry. Depending on the force application, the ring may exhibit different buckling behaviors, including regular pitchfork bifurcation, nonlinear snap-through, and hysteresis. The buckling properties of square and hexagonal rings are significant as they serve as unit cells for larger structures like honeycomb, graphene, and tensegrity structures.
