Abstrait: |
In this study, we introduce a star-shaped tensegrity structure with 4-fold dihedral symmetry, which is not super stable and can have multiple stable configurations. The transformation is studied between the symmetric initial stable state, and a second unsymmetric state where stability is conferred by contact of struts. |
