When the existing literature on the research of scissor structures is thoroughly investigated, it
is seen that different researchers use different terminologies and classifications especially …

In this paper, a spatial Hoberman radially retractable grid shell is constructed based on its
planar version and the mechanical properties of the grid shell are analyzed using ABAQUS …

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

In this paper, a novel reconfigurable deployable spatial 8R-like mechanism consisting of
four angulated elements connected by revolute (R) joints is presented and analyzed. Based …

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 …

Scissor linkages are commonly used as mechanisms for scaling objects. They constitute a
significant portion of deployable structures. Since 1960s many researchers sought to form …

Scissor mechanisms are frequently used for deployable structures and many studies have
been conducted on the subject. Most of the studies consider scissor units as modules in the …

Dynamic building envelopes have entered the mainstream practice of architecture in the last
decades. Such dynamic systems are capable of changing their geometric configurations …

The primary objective of this thesis is to propose a design method for linkages simulating the
transformation of a planar curve from an initial form to a final form. First, the topologies of …

This thesis uses creative practice to explore the unique social relationships between
audience members in immersive theatre, conceptualising the audience in these experiences …
