This study describes the viscoelastic properties of a refined cellular-tensegrity model composed of six rigid bars connected to a continuous network of 24 viscoelastic pre-stretched cables (Voigt bodies) in order to analyse the role of the cytoskeleton spatial rearrangement on the viscoelastic respo
Two mathematical theorems and their proofs, applicable to stability investigations of mechanical systems, are presented. The theorems permit a determination of the stability of systems undergoing large displacements by means of a defined extremum function and without recourse to a study of higher va
## Abatraet-Design requirements have been developed to insure structural safety for current and future USAF aircraft. New structure is assumed to be flawed. Materials, stress levels and structural arrangements are chosen so as to prevent damage from growing to catastrophic size prior to detection.
