Abstract: | We apply a twofold graphic statics and kinematics analysis to derive the mechanisms and states of self-stress for 3D trusses, tensegrities, and flexible polyhedra, extending the definition to study graphically the redistribution of internal forces in statically balanced tensegrity mechanisms. |
