tensegrity-statics

Implements the equations of static equilibrium of a tensegrity system as Ax=u. Tensions via an LP. Plots.

All codes in Matlab syntax.

The main code (tensegrity_statics.m) implements the equations in section 2.1 of: Bewley (2019) Stabilization of low-altitude balloon systems, Part 2: riggings with multiple taut ground tethers, analyzed as tensegrity systems.

The plotting code (tensegrity_plot.m) makes some rudimentary 2D or 3D plots, as appropriate.

All figures from the above paper are included as examples, in addition to a few from Skelton and de Oliveira (2009) Tensegrity Systems. Please do submit pull requests as you develop more examples! :)
