3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Isoperimetric inequality fortorsional rigidity in the complex plane
Suppose SZ is a simply connected domain in the complex plane. In (F.G. Avhadiev, Matem. Sborn., 189(12) (1998), 3–12 (Russian)), Avhadiev introduced new geometrical functionals, which give two-sided estimates for the torsional rigidity of .
