Modeling Rigidity in Tensegrity Systems

Learn about the principles of rigidity modeling in tensegrity systems through a 30-minute seminar presentation from the Biological Physics/Physical Biology series. Explore the mechanical properties and structural behavior of these fascinating systems that combine tension and compression elements in a state of self-equilibrium. Delve into mathematical models and analytical approaches used to understand how tensegrity structures maintain their shape and stability, with applications ranging from cellular mechanics to architectural design.
