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 …

Scissor-type deployable structures, characterized by superior flexibility, high expansion
ratio, and ease of control, have been extensively studied across architecture and …

Deployable scissor structures are capable of large geometric transformations between
predefined configurations thanks to their extension and rotation properties. These structures …

Mechanisms consisting of spatial scissor units have different kinematic behaviors than those
of planar scissors. However, their kinematics, especially the mobility analysis, has not …

Scissor mechanisms are used as deployable structures in industrial products, architecture,
and aerospace structures. In general, tubular scissor mechanisms (TSMs), composed of …

Scissor structures made of either straight or angulated members have been successfully
used in retractable roofs and other deployable applications. A deployable unit made of three …

Geometric design is the essential first step to ensure transformation of a structure from an
undeployed to a deployed state and vice-versa. Typically, this is achieved using motion …

Due to their expansion capabilities and the simplicity of their design, scissor linkages have
been used in both architecture and engineering for various applications, such as …

This paper presents the form finding and structural analysis of an active bending-
pantographic bamboo space structure that integrates self-stressed active bending arches …

Scissor structures have very promising applications and have attracted much attention due
to their novel characteristics of being deployable and foldable. However, most of the current …
