TL;DR: An efficient method for the form-finding of tensegrity structures using a genetic algorithm as a global search technique and two other methods to convert the asymmetrical geometry obtained from the main algorithm into its symmetrical counterparts are proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new formulation for the form-finding of tense-grity structures in which the primary variables are the Cartesian components of element lengths, and both an analytical and a numerical implementation of the formulation are described; each require a description of the connectivity of the tensegrity.

TL;DR: The directed and undirected products are employed for the configuration processing of space structures and can easily be extended to the formation of finite element models.

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient method for buckling and free vibration analysis of cyclically repeated space truss type structures is presented, where stiffness, geometric stiffness and mass matrices are expressed in cylindrical coordinate system and this leads to the formation of a special pattern for the related matrices of entire of such structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a computationally efficient platform for the analytical form-finding of tensegrity structures using the well-known Faddeev-LeVerrier algorithm to generate required relationships between force densities of elements providing explicit analytical conditions of self-stressed states.
