A direct approach to design of geometry and forces of tensegrity systems (2006, methodology): “Using this criterion, stabilities of the examples shown above have been confirmed by checking eigenvalues of tangent stiffness matrix of the structure (Murakami, 2001).”
Topology optimization of tensegrity structures under compliance constraint: a mixed integer linear programming approach (2013, background): “…real-world tensegrity structure consists of struts (and cables, respectively) with unified cross section, where the cross-sectional area of a strut is usually larger than that of a cable; see, e.g., the examples discussed in Adam and Smith (2008), Tibert and Pellegrino (2002), and Murakami (2001).”
Dynamic behavior and vibration control of a tensegrity structure (2010, methodology): “Consequently, when the structure experiences infinitesimal mechanisms, the elastic term vanishes and the stiffness is induced only by KG (Murakami and Nishimura 2001b). This suggests that modes increasing with the level of self-stress correspond to the tensegrity infinitesimal mechanisms. Similar re”
Optimization of tensegrity structures (2006, unknown): “The current level of tensegrity technology development is characterized by the existence of successful dynamic models developed by Murakami (2001) and Skelton et al. (2001), and control strategies studied by Sultan et al. (2000) (2002), Masic and Skelton (2005) and Kanchanasaratool and Williamson…”
