La struttura Tensegrity T-Bar soggetta ad instabilità globaleThe T-Bar tensegrity bar subjected to global instability

In the present work the behavior of a fundamental Tensegrity structure is analyzed: the T-Bar. This structural typology has been already studied by one of the author. In this work a generalizations of previous obtained results is presented due to the accounting for the global instability phenomenon that was neglected in previous studies. The goal of the study herein presented is to establish when the use of a T-Bar can lead to a mass saving when compared with a solid bar subjected to the same load and having the same length.
