Index Entry
Tony Pugh at S.I.U. tells me that the version of the tensegrity sphere on which I based my exposition-- same one you have on your office floor-- is, in fact, degenerate because it imposes loads on the struts: as it does. In the pure tensegrities the tension network is continuous and the struts merely float in it, holding its nodes apart and undergoing no stress except axial (end-to-end).
