In this paper, a method to obtain effective continuum beam stiffness properties of tensegrity towers with struts in each bay is developed. Long for space applications can be modeled as beam-like structures, and axial, bending, shear, torsional used make comparisons between alternatives determine the optimum design mission. Continuum models Class-2 are obtained using modified energy equivalency approach. Self-stress levels (i.e., cable tension strut compression) varied observe their influence...
