The concept of tensegrity is characterized in architecture as a set of interrelated elements that work only on tension or compression. The term &#171;tensegrity&#187; is formed from two words &#171;tension&#187; and &#171;integrity&#187;, that is, the tensegrity constructions are such ones, integrity of which is provided by the creation of initial tension of the elements. The idea of the self-stressed constructions can be considered as a kind of bionic approach, i.e. the way of using structures created by nature as a prototype for making engineering structures. In Part 1, the authors analyzed the main properties of tensegrity structures and showed their disadvantages and distinctive features. The concept of &#171;tensegrity&#187; constructionss is defined as a set of design principles: the stressed elements are in a state of either pure compression or pure tension. That is to say that the structure consisting of these elements can collapse either as a result of cable break or due to bar buckling. The pretension stifens the ropes during behavior both in tension and in compression. The design has a mechanical stability, allowing its elements to remain in a tensioned or compressed state, even with increasing stresses in the elements of the structure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> self-stressed systems; tensegrity; compressed-tensioned systems; architecture of tensegrity systems; tensegrity modules<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ovchinnikov Ilya Igorevich Yuri Gagarin state technical university of Saratov, Russia, Saratov Moscow state automobile &amp; road technical university Sochi branch, Russia, Sochi E-mail: bridgeart@mail.ru Ovchinnikov Igor Georgievich National research nuclear university Moscow engineering physics institute Balakovo institute of engineering &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vol4-no2","category-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/t-s.today\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
