Abstract
A method for determining the equilibrium state of a tensegrity structure includes: determining the critical bending moment that the tensegrity structure bears; calculating the tension of longitudinal tie rods; calculating the pressure of longitudinal compression members; calculating the tensile lengths and the unstressed lengths of the longitudinal tie rods; calculating the compressed lengths and the unstressed lengths of the longitudinal compression members; calculating the forces and the radial deformations of annular compression members; and calculating the positioning lengths and the manufacturing lengths of the longitudinal tie rods and the longitudinal compression members.
