This paper presents a numerical method for finding a tensegrity structure based on the ground structure method. We first solve a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem which maximizes the number of struts over the self-equilibrium condition of axial forces and the discontinuity condition of struts.

The dynamic behavior of a simple elastic tensegrity structure is examined, in order to validate observations that the natural damping of the elastic elements in such a structure is poorly mobilized, due to the natural flexibility of the equilibrium position of the structure. It is confirmed, analyti
