| Abstract |
This paper presents form-finding of Tensegrity structures by using Force method. The Force method is generalized to all types of skeletal structures, such as rigid-jointed frames, pin-jointed planar trusses and ball-jointed space trusses. This method has easier basic concept, which is based on equilibrium equation, than Finite Element Method. In addition, this method is appealing to engineers because the properties of members of structures most often depend on the member force than joint displacement. Therefore, this study applies to analyze about form-finding of Tensegrity structures by using Force method's merit. |
