{"product_id":"9784431548126","title":"Tensegrity Structures: Form, Stability, and Symmetry","description":"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.","brand":"Springer Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052642091248,"sku":"9784431548126","price":147.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9784431548126_p0.jpg?v=1763713377","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9784431548126","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
