The most interesting examples of tensegrity structures are underconstrained and display an infin - itesimal flex. In the direction of that flex the force -displacement relationship is highly nonlinear, resulting from geometric stiffening and influenced by the effect of prestress at equilibrium. A tensegrity structure would there - fore display nonlinear vibrations when excited in the direction of the infinitesimal flex. The creasing with amplitude.
