Study on tensegrity structure and their applications to space

Tensegrity structures are pin-jointed truss structures compones of cables in tension and bars in compression. Due to their lightweight, complex shape topology and storage ability they can be a grate option for many application. This project deals with computation method and analysis of tensegrity st...
