Symmetric tensegrity analogue of Connelly's theorem
Symmetric tensegrity analogue of Connelly's theorem
Let be a fully symmetric tensegrity framework, with cables and struts whose self-stress coefficients are denoted by . A symmetry-preserving finite flex is a finite flex that preserves the framework's symmetry.
Symmetric tensegrity analogue of Connelly's theorem. If has a cable or strut and no symmetry-preserving finite flex, then it has a fully symmetric, non-zero, proper self-stress satisfying
on cables and
on struts.
This would extend Connelly's theorem to fully symmetric tensegrity frameworks. The source presents it as a conjectural symmetry adaptation of the basic proof; no resolution is given here.
