Tensegrity structure unit based on hexahedron geometry
The invention discloses a tensegrity structure unit based on hexahedron geometry. The unit is composed of 8 hinging joints, 4 pressure bars and 12 stay cables. The 8 hinging joints are respectively located at the 8 vertexes of a hexahedron. The 4 pressure bars are disposed inside the hexahedron and coincide with the 4 body diagonals of the hexahedron. The two ends of each of the 12 stay cables are respectively connected to the two opposite vertexes on the quadrangle of each face of the hexahedron. Each hinging point is connected to one pressure bar and three stay cables. The stay cables have pretension forces, the pressure bars have precompression forces, and the structure unit is a stable self-balancing cable-bar system, has relatively high structural rigidity, and has a good application prospect in establishing large prestressed cable-bar structural systems.
