Abstract
The regular tensegrity prisms are a kind of fundamental unit, which can be formed into different configurations by different splicing approaches to achieve specific structural functions. Taking regular prisms as the research object, this article presents an analytical method for structural deformations under compressive loading. The structural parameters after loading can be obtained directly by solving the nonlinear force density equation, which simplifies the form-finding process. This article also studies the structural stiffness under different connection modes. By defining the twist angle change rate and internal force utilization rate, we can compare the relative deformation of different tensegrity prisms. The results show that the relative deformation of the three-bar prism is minimal, and it has the best stiffness.
