      title = {Tensegrity structures form, stability, and symmetry /  [electronic resource] :},
      abstract = {To facilitate a deeper understanding of tensegrity  structures, this book focuses on their two key design  problems: self-equilibrium analysis and stability  investigation. In particular, high symmetry properties of  the structures are extensively utilized. Conditions for  self-equilibrium as well as super-stability of tensegrity  structures are presented in detail. An analytical method  and an efficient numerical method are given for  self-equilibrium analysis of tensegrity structures: the  analytical method deals with symmetric structures and the  numerical method guarantees super-stability. Utilizing  group representation theory, the text further provides  analytical super-stability conditions for the structures  that are of dihedral as well as tetrahedral symmetry. This  book not only serves as a reference for engineers and  scientists but is also a useful source for upper-level  undergraduate and graduate students. Keeping this objective  in mind, the presentation of the book is self-contained and  detailed, with an abundance of figures and examples.},
