Method for determining equilibrium state of tensegrity structure

A method for manufacturing a tensegrity structure, comprising the following steps:

• determining an equilibrium state of the tensegrity structure, which comprises:
• determining a critical bending moment that the tensegrity structure bears;
• calculating a tension of longitudinal tie rods;
• calculating a pressure of longitudinal compression members;
• calculating tensile lengths and unstressed lengths of the longitudinal tie rods;
• calculating compressed lengths and unstressed lengths of the longitudinal compression members;
• calculating forces and radial deformations of annular compression members;
• and
• calculating positioning lengths and manufacturing lengths of the longitudinal tie rods and the longitudinal compression members;
• manufacturing the longitudinal tie rods and the longitudinal compression members according to the calculated positioning lengths and manufacturing lengths of the longitudinal tie rods and the longitudinal compression members;
• and
• forming the tensegrity structure with a plurality of the annular compression members, the manufactured longitudinal tie rods and the manufactured longitudinal compression members.
