Effective insights into the geometric stability of symmetric skeletal structures under symmetric variations (2015, background): “Sultan et al. (2001) formulated the general geometric stability conditions for tensegrity structures.”
A Monte Carlo form-finding method for large scale regular and irregular tensegrity structures (2010, methodology): “Analytical form-finding methods have been proposed for simple tensegrity structures with high symmetry (Connelly and Terrell, 1995; Vassart and Motro, 1999; Murakami and Nishimura, 2001; Sultan et al., 2001; Kenner, 2003), while numerical methods are usually necessary for general applications.”
A direct approach to design of geometry and forces of tensegrity systems (2006, background): “There have been extensive researches on analysis and design of tensegrity systems, such as Hanaor (1988), Jager and Skelton (2004), Motro et al. (1986), Pellegrino (1990), Pellegrino and Calladine (1986) and Sultan et al. (2001).”
