A Tensegrity Technology: Revision History
Back to A Technology for Designing Tensegrity Domes and Spheres
| 07 | Jun | 07 | In the Summary of Research Results note that the truss technology is similar to one Snelson formulated (not identical). |
| 11 | Oct | 05 | In the Form-Finding Technology section, replace '+/-' with '±' and '>=' with '≥'. |
| 10 | Oct | 05 | Add link to PDF version. In bio, refer more specifically to Gamesville.com rather than Lycos.com. Replace 'v' with 'ν' throughout where appropriate. Tidy up HTML. |
| 08 | Jul | 05 | Restore inadvertently removed dome picture at top of file. Add link to VRML model. |
| 07 | Jul | 05 | Remove hit counter. Change back link from ../index.htm to ../index.html. |
| 27 | Jun | 05 | Substitute Burkhardt04 for Roth81 (Roth, B. and W. Whiteley, "Tensegrity Frameworks", Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 265, No. 2, 1981, pp. 419-446). Over the years, my recollection confused their axiomatic treatment with the nonlinear programming approach. There must be connections between the two. How do their findings on member forces correlate with mine? |
| 05 | Jan | 05 | Add comment noting POV-Ray source file name for header image. Add subject to email address. |
| 07 | Oct | 04 | Update Burkhardt94 reference to Burkhardt04. Eliminate Fuller82 reference and use the term polylateral rather than polyvertexion. Mention Snelson's original development of the planar truss. Refer to member forces rather than stresses and exogenous loads rather than external loads. Use improved version of initial dome ray trace with fewer jaggies. Specify correct size for Figure Tripods. |
| 08 | Jun | 04 | Add Emmerich88 to the references and refer to it when discussing Related Technologies. |
| 11 | May | 04 | Replace graphics for Figures Oct6vtri and Tripods with clearer versions. Revise explanatory text accompanying Figure Tripods. Replace incorrect reference to Tripods with correct reference to Oct6vtri. In Section 2.3, clarify the description of how the complete tendon grid is developed from a single-layer tensegrity sphere supported by embedded tripods. |
| 03 | Mar | 04 | Reposition existing back link and add another to revision history. Add link to Synergetics Gallery and back links to Website Index. |
| 03 | Oct | 03 | Qualify list of applications as a preliminary result of brain-storming. Minor HTML revisions to clarify paragraphing and bring captions closer to their corresponding figures. Added an introductory remark to the NSF panel coments and an analysis at the bottom to indicate the average of the total scores given by the NSF respondents. |
| 27 | Jan | 03 | Revise bio to include Gamesville.com. |
| 19 | Jan | 03 | Add link to A Practical Guide to Tensegrity Design. |
| 07 | Jan | 03 | Add meta tag to describe encoding. |
| 31 | Aug | 00 | Add img alt descriptions. Double link section headers to TOC. Polish HTML. |
| 16 | Apr | 00 | Add description meta and img dimensions. |
| 20 | Oct | 99 | Correct small typo. Use new POV-Ray rendering for initial picture. Eliminate ref to Digital wrt Alpha chip. |
| 04 | Oct | 99 | Add reference to "Beyond the Cube". |
| 22 | Sep | 99 | Use POV-Ray rendering for initial picture of V10 dome. Original Mesa OpenGL rendering retained for second picture. |
| 26 | Jul | 99 | Substitute "ethereality" where "ephemerality" used to be. |
| 26 | Apr | 99 | Substitute other wording for ephemeral. |
| 29 | Mar | 99 | Started revision history. Separated out dome truncations and added shell truncations in research results. Added refugee/hiker shelters and music performance shells to applications. |
