DESCRIPTION:Nizar Bel Hadj Ali\, Associate Professor\, Civil Engineering 
 Department\, Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Gabès\, University of Gab
 ès\, Gabès\, Tunisia\nClustered elements have been employed to model con
 tinuous cables that slide over multiple nodes in cable and membrane struct
 ures as well as tensegrity structures. Although continuous cables can be a
 dvantageous elements for construction and control purposes\, they can sign
 ificantly change the dynamic behaviour of a structure increasing its nonli
 near aspect and thus the complexity of shape and vibration control. This t
 alk focuses on the dynamic behaviour of clustered tensegrity structures. L
 inear and nonlinear dynamic analysis schemes are presented. A study on vib
 ration mitigation is presented for tensegrity-based structures subjected t
 o harmonic and random excitations. Latest research results are presented a
 nd open problems are highlighted.
