| Research Abstract |
Tensegrity structure which has higher specific strength as compared with the trusses has not been practically used by the difficulty of assembly. Therefore, the automatic deployment structure system is developed. Our system has a telescopic mechanism in both tension and compression members and will be intended to use as a temporary structure at the disaster site.
In this research, a structural characterization experiment and a deployment operation test has been performed by using the experimental model equipped with a new nodal part and an adjustment mechanism for tension members. Experimental results indicate that the bending stiffness is controlled by a tension adjustment and the deployment operation becomes stable.
