Innovative Families Of Double-Layer Tensegrity Grids: Quastruts and Sixstruts

Double-layer tensegrity grids (DLTG) are spatial reticulated systems based on tensegrity principles, which have been studied in detail over recent years. The most important investigations have been carried out focusing on a short list of tensegrity grids. This paper explains with real examples how t...
