Abstract
This chapter deals with the vibration of tensegrity members. The exact solution of structural dynamic-related problems can be achieved by using the frequency-dependent spectral method. This chapter investigates the vibrational characteristics of a tensegrity. The tensegrity, which is modeled by a compressive strut and tensile cable elements, is solved by using the spectral element method (SEM). Natural frequencies of the tensegrity are computed using the Wittrick-Williams algorithm. Numerical comparisons are given to show the effectiveness, efficiency, and accuracy of the SEM.
