Tensegrity frameworks: Static analysis review. (2008, background): “[46] developed a procedure which seeks the topology, geometry and pre-stress of a structure under external forces, and taking into account strength, buckling and shape constraints.”
Topology optimization of tensegrity structures under compliance constraint: a mixed integer linear programming approach (2013, background): “In Masic et al. (2006), both of the initial member lengths and the self-equilibrium configuration are considered as design variables, while the labels of members are supposed to be specified in advance.”
Tensegrity frameworks: Dynamic analysis review and open problems (2009, methodology): “[50] used the compliance energy of the structure under external forces, fu, where u are the nodal displacements and f are the external forces applied to the nodes.”
The stiffness of tensegrity structures (2011, background): “They are frequently visually arresting (Heartney, 2009); and they can be designed to give ‘optimal’ structures Masic et al. (2006).”
