Abstract
The paper contains a parametric analysis of tensegrity structures subjected to time-independent external loads. A complete dynamic stability analysis is a three-step process. The first stage involves the identification of self-stress states and infinitesimal mechanisms. The next stage concentrates on the static and dynamic behavior of tensegrities under time-independent external loads, whereas the third is under periodic loads. In this paper, the first two stages are carried out. The structures built with the most popular tensegrity modules, Simplex and Quartex, are considered. The effect of the initial prestress on the static parameters and frequency is analyzed. To assess this behavior, a geometrically non-linear model is used.
