Abstract

Since the tensegrity structure is flexible and variable, the study on the mobility to the tensegrity has been conducted. However, it is difficult to apply the tensegrity to the architecture field due to several limits. This paper describes the methodology for the analysis of the shape change process of single prism tensegrity structure as an initial study. To apply the tensegrity structure to the architectural field, the assemblage and mathematical formulation procedures of the single prism tensegrity structures are carried out. And single prism tensegrity are presented to the computational strategies for simulate the shape change of those structures. Next, the investigation of structural behaviors through various cases of target displacements is described. Also, the summary of these methods in algorithms is illustrated. As a result it is confirmed that the single prism tensegrity structure model converges 99% on average to a given target node by using the proposed algorithm. Therefore, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm and program are suitable for shape change analysis of single prism tensegrity structure model.
