A comprehensive dynamic model for class-1 tensegrity systems based on quaternions
(2011)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper we propose a new dynamic model, based on quaternions, for tensegrity systems of class-1. Quaternions are used to represent orientations of a rigid body in the 3-dimensional space eliminating the problem of ... -
