Origami has emerged as a powerful mechanism for designing functional foldable and
deployable structures. Among various origami patterns, a large class of origami exhibits …

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

Kirigami involves cutting a flat, thin sheet that allows it to morph from a closed, compact
configuration into an open deployed structure via coordinated rotations of the internal tiles …

This paper is to deal with the mechanism design problem for constructing deployable
polyhedral mechanisms on the basis of novel basic units with an additive-then-subtractive …

Deployable polyhedrons, especially transformable polyhedrons, are mathematically
interesting yet kinematically challenging. This paper presents a synthesis method for …

Deployable polyhedral mechanisms (DPMs) have witnessed flourishing growth in recent
years because of their potential applications in robotics, space exploration, structure …

This paper aims to present the topological structure design and kinematic analysis of a novel
double-ring truss deployable satellite antenna mechanism. First, a new topological scheme …

Some cases of kinematic behavior of deployable scissor-hinge structures, which consist of
link members and pivot and hinge joints, have been investigated. However, few have …

This paper is to propose a novel construction method for constructing a family of over-
constrained multi-loop deployable mechanisms by connecting orthogonal single-loop …

A novel family of extendable kinematic chains, termed dual scissor-like mechanisms (D-
SLiM), is proposed in this paper. The chains, which generally have two translational degrees …
