    • Design and Control of a Tensegrity Prism Manipulator 
      Karnan, Haresh (2018-07-27)
      Tensegrity, a word coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s, is a portmanteau of words tension and integrity. A tensegrity structure is a prestressable network of bars and strings that can be acted by external forces at ...
    • Design of a Tensegrity Control Moment Gyroscope 
      Bryant, Tyler Aryn (2022-08-17)
      The focus of this thesis will be the development of a tensegrity flywheel with the goal of minimizing the mass while achieving the desired amount of angular momentum for attitude control of a spacecraft. Currently, flywheels ...
    • Discrete Wheel Topology Modeled Using Tensegrity Mechanics 
      Peck, Caleb Hamilton (2020-08-03)
      In an effort to expand the breadth of tensegrity geometries, novel discrete toroidal topologies are developed, analyzed and presented. The scope of this thesis encompasses the complete design formulation of the connectivity ...
    • Integrated biomechanical model of cells embedded in extracellular matrix 
      Muddana, Hari Shankar (2009-05-15)
      Nature encourages diversity in life forms (morphologies). The study of morphogenesis deals with understanding those processes that arise during the embryonic development of an organism. These processes control the organized ...
    • Non-Linear Trajectory Control of Tensegrity Prosthetic (ProTense) Leg 
      Vishala, FNU N/A (2018-11-29)
      There has been a continuous rise in the number of amputees over the past decades and estimates put the number of amputees in the US alone at over 3 million by 2050. With the rising amputee population, the development of ...
