ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Behaviour of tensegrities has been investigated since the end of the first half of the 20th century with an effort to better understand their unique structural and mechanical features as well as explore their potential in almost all spheres of science. In spite of existing structures mirroring a tensegrity principle, practical implementation of such notion in civil engineering and architecture is also nowadays innovative in comparison to commonly used rigid structures. In addition, tensegrities are perfect candidates to become adaptive with regard to surrounding environment because they can be relatively easily handled, in terms of geometry and flexibility, by means of actuators’ equipped compressed or tensioned members (active members). The contribution deals with exploration of shape correction of an active tensegrity system regarding to defined criteria. The aim of the article is to examine a shape correction’s possibility of loaded system. Results showed a satisfactory level of correctness.
