Study on the equilibrium of the assembling two-unit tensegrity structure

When the tensegrity units are assembled into the complex tensegrity structures, relations between structural and force parameters determine equilibrium of the tensegrity structures and contribute to more topological configurations, so the relations will be investigated here. Firstly, equilibrium equations of the tensegrity structure which two tensegrity units are assembled into are set up. Then analytical solutions of the equations are obtained by solving the equilibrium equations. Finally, with the analytical solutions, influences of the deflection angle inside the unit and number of the bars on other parameters are investigated.
