Effective insights into the geometric stability of symmetric skeletal structures under symmetric variations (2015, background): “According to Ohsaki and Zhang’s investigation (Ohsaki and Zhang, 2006), rigid-body motions and linear scaling do not affect the structural stability.”
Advanced form-finding for cable-strut structures (2010, background): “It confirms that the structures are mechanically stable (Murakami, 2001; Ohsaki and Zhang, 2006).”
Initial self-stress design of tensegrity grid structures (2010, unknown): “Using this criterion, stability of any pre-stressed or tensegrity grid structure can be controlled by checking eigenvalues of tangent stiffness matrix of the structure [26,25].”
Advanced form-finding of tensegrity structures (2010, methodology): “Using this criterion, stability of any pre-stressed or tensegrity structure can be controlled by checking eigenvalues of tangent stiffness matrix of the structure [24,23].”
A new approach to the analytical and numerical form-finding of tensegrity structures (2013, methodology): “In 1947, a young artist named Kenneth Snelson invented and built a novel framework that he called floating compression. Later, Fuller (1962) called Snelson’s structure a tensegrity, and since then, this nomenclature has been dominant in the scientific community. Tensegrity structures are pin-jointed”
