张拉整体结构在科学和工程的各个领域都有着广泛的应用。在土木工程中，张拉整体结构已被用于建造轻质而坚固的结构，而在航空航天应用中，张拉整体系统已被证明具有巨大的积极应用潜力，如行星探测。因此，主动张拉整体系统一直在调查的小型，轻型，低成本的任务。然而，张拉整体结构的鲁棒性或损伤容限是其固有的自平衡预应力状态的函数。虽然对张拉整体系统的研究已经为它们的找形和分析提供了可靠的技术，但以前没有发现将损伤容限作为输入或输出参数的技术。本文反映了一种努力，通过生物启发的方法，结合拓扑定义和找形张拉整体结构的找形过程中的损伤容限。
Tensegrity structures have been applied in various fields in science and engineering. In civil engineering, tensegrity structures have been used to construct lightweight yet strong structures, while in aerospace applications, it has been shown that tensegrity systems have great potential for active applications such as planetary exploration. Therefore, active tensegrity systems have been under investigation for small, light-weight, and low-cost missions. However, the robustness or damage tolerance of a tensegrity structure is a function of its inherent self-equilibrated pre-stress states. Although research into tensegrity systems has resulted in reliable techniques for their form-finding and analysis, no technique has been found previously that integrates damage tolerance as an input or output parameter. This paper reflects an effort to integrate damage tolerance in the form-finding process of tensegrity structures through a bio-inspired approach that combines topology definition and form finding.
