abstract = {Two problems are addressed in this paper. First, the mathematical
model to perform the static analysis of an antiprism tensegrity structure
subjected to a wide variety of external loads is presented. The virtual
work approach is used to deduce the equilibrium equations and a method
based on Newton's Third Law is used to verify the numerical results.
Two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the use of the
mathematical model, as well as the verification method. The second
problem deals with the development of a mathematical model to perform
the static analysis of a prestressed antiprism tensegrity structure
subjected to an arbitrary length reduction of its connecting ties.
Again, a virtual work approach is used to deduce the equilibrium
equations and the numerical results are verified using a Newtonian
approach. One example is provided to illustrate the mathematical
model.},
