The Combinatorial Geometry of Stresses in Frameworks
Keyword(s):
AbstractConsider a realization of a graph in the space with straight segments representing edges. Let us assign a stress for every its edge. In case if at every vertex of the graph the stresses sum up to zero, we say that the realization is a tensegrity. Some realizations possess non-zero tensegrities while the others do not. In this paper we study necessary and sufficient existence conditions for tensegrities in the plane. For an arbitrary graph we write down these conditions in terms of projective “meet-join” operations.
