Deployable structures are flexible structures that can transform themselves from a stowed
state to a deployed state with a predetermined configuration upon actuation. Based on …

Lightweight bistable deployable structures can be designed to be transportable and
reusable. They instantaneously achieve some structural stability when transformed from the …

To align with the development trend of large aperture, high stiffness, and high expansion
ratio for space antennas, we propose a scissor-like hoop truss deployable antenna …

Scissor structures can meet different performance goals by actively changing their geometric
configurations. This paper focuses on the inverse design problem of planar scissor …

Pre-assembled scissor structures can be transformed from a compact bundle of elements to
a fully deployed configuration, offering a considerable volume expansion. Intended …

Deployable bar structures are especially useful for emergency buildings. These structures
require simplicity and ease of assembly and their performance can be improve by using …

In this article, deployable cylindrical vaults of reciprocal linkages with frustoconical ends are
analysed. Deployable cylindrical vaults with quadrangular scissors modules have low …

Morphing structures with simultaneous deployable and load-bearing characteristics have
become the research hotspot due to their practicability. For morphing deployable structures …

Bias deployable grids are meshes with two directions of rotation on the ground plan with
respect to the edges. They offer benefits such as three-dimensional resistance with supports …

The 3D deployable frames studied in this work are structures composed of elastic beam
elements connected by complex joints. During transformation a controlled snap-through …
