DESCRIPTION:

Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed systems of cables and bars in which no bar is connected to the other and the structure has no continuous rigid skeleton. This general introduction presents an original general method for the design of tensegrity structures, the first configurations of which were found by trial and error.

The book begins with two-dimensional tensegrity structures, particularly tensegrity nets, tensegrity chains, tensegrity rings and tensegrity arches. These are then developed to original configurations of spatial tensegrity structures such as tensegrity slabs, primitive spatial tensegrity arches, and primitive tensegrity domes, as well as more elaborate spatial tensegrity structures such as tensegrity cylindrical shells, slim tensegrity domes, tensegrity vaults, and tensegrity caps.

Presents a robust new approach to the design of tensegrity structures
Extends tensegrity structures to new three-dimensional configurations

Tensegrity Structures Design Methods suits structural, civil, and mechanical engineers and architects, as well as graduate students.

Oren Vilnay is Professor Emeritus and was founder and head of the Department of Structural Engineering at Ben Gurion University Israel. He is also former head of the Structural Engineering Section at Technion—Israel
Institute of Technology.

Leon Chernin is Lecturer at the University of Dundee. He was granted a PhD in Structural Engineering from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology. His research activities encompass both physical testing and numerical modelling.

Descripción

Las estructuras de tensegridad son sistemas pretensados de cables y barras en los que ninguna barra está conectada a otra y la estructura no tiene un esqueleto rígido continuo. Esta introducción general presenta un método general original para el diseño de estructuras de tensegridad, cuyas primeras configuraciones se encontraron mediante prueba y error.

El libro comienza con estructuras de tensegridad bidimensionales, en particular redes de tensegridad, cadenas de tensegridad, anillos de tensegridad y arcos de tensegridad. Luego se desarrollan configuraciones originales de estructuras de tensegridad espacial, como losas de tensegridad, arcos de tensegridad espacial primitivos y cúpulas de tensegridad primitivas, así como estructuras de tensegridad espacial más elaboradas, como cáscaras cilíndricas de tensegridad, cúpulas de tensegridad delgadas, bóvedas de tensegridad y tapas de tensegridad. .

Presenta un nuevo enfoque sólido para el diseño de estructuras de tensegridad.
Extiende las estructuras de tensegridad a nuevas configuraciones tridimensionales.

Los métodos de diseño de estructuras tensegridad son adecuados para arquitectos e ingenieros estructurales, civiles y mecánicos, así como para estudiantes de posgrado.
