Computational modelling of a prestressed tensegrity core in a sandwich panel

The files M1.inp and M2.inp are the ABAQUS input files containing two models of four module tensegrity structures. Model M1 is composed of four identical four-strut tensegrity modules, connected at adjacent nodes. In this configuration, all modules maintain the same handedness. Model M2 is composed of four four-strut tensegrity modules connected at adjacent nodes. In this case, two modules preserve their original handedness, whereas the other two are mirrored with respect to a vertical plane.
