Fig. 6. Contraction response of the tensegrity stress fiber model when struts are actively shortened.

Fig. 6

A) The configurations of the model before (left) and after (right) struts are actively shortened showed that whole fiber contracts. B) Graph showing SF contraction ratio as a function of strut shortening ratio for values of strut stiffness of 0.1 (triangle) or 0.2 (square); contraction and strut shortening were normalized by the initial length of the model and strut, respectively.
