Abstract: To explore the anisotropic nature and improve computational efficiency, eigenvalue (EV-) analysis is adopted to implement the transfer matrix method (TMM), abbreviated as EV-TMM, enabling ...

Abstract: This study proposes a form-finding algorithm based on force density matrix decomposition for tensegrity structures. The only information required is node connection and component type. The ...
