Sandwich panels with truss cores offer possibilities for self-actuation. They are analyzed, with emphasis on mass optimal design for failure and stiffness. It is shown that introducing additional freedom in selecting the topology of tetrahedral or pyramidal cores, by 1) making the core units, or even all core members, disjoint, so varying the distance between core units becomes possible, 2) using...
This paper proposes and demonstrates procedures to optimally design tensegrity structures actuation, based on closed loop shape control requirements, while at the same time a feasible path for realizing a desired shape is synthesized. The procedures are employing different optimization based formulations of a set of requirements needed for shape control. The specific procedure demonstrated is based...
