Abstract

This paper presents a new numerical method to analyse tensegrity structures by using singular value decomposition and force method. The tensegrity system consisting of compressive and tensle elements are pin-jointed system. Tensegrity structures, unlike the general structure should be preceded by form-finding. Tensegrity structures form-finding of the self-equilibrium stress stability, seeking to have the process. In this study, tensegrity structures when subjected to external loads, find the optimal pre-stress values was studied.
