This work discusses the mathematical properties of the interaction potential that characterizes tensegrity mass-spring chains, and its implications in terms of the propagation of compact compression waves in such systems when impacted by a striker. Numerical simulations show evidence of the dependence of the wave form on the speed of the propagating compression pulses, which change shape when passing from the sonic to the super-sonic wave propagation regime.

Abstract
This work discusses the mathematical properties of the interaction potential that characterizes tensegrity mass-spring chains, and its implications in terms of the propagation of compact compression waves in such systems when impacted by a striker. Numerical simulations show evidence of the dependence of the wave form on the speed of the propagating compression pulses, which change shape when passing from the sonic to the super-sonic wave propagation regime.File in questo prodotto:
