A traditional deployable articulated mast mechanism can only provide one-dimensional (1D)
deploying-folding motion. This paper aims to investigate the design and analysis of a novel …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish an assembly accuracy analysis model of
deployable arms based on Jacobian–Torsor theory to improve the assembly accuracy …

This paper investigates the factors which affect the packing ratio of deployable articulated
truss masts and investigates the necessary design criteria for new designs with enhanced …

Spherical joints are widely utilized in space-deployable truss extension arms due to their
compact structure, high reliability and excellent flexibility. Spherical joints are often …

As a support component between spacecraft and antenna, the accuracy of cable-strut
tensegrity mast is crucial to the task. In order to analyze the influence of manufacturing …

The dynamic characteristics of a large deployable support arm with uncertain parameters
are studied. Due to the processing, manufacturing and other reasons, uncertainty is common …

With the emerging space activities, use of deployable structures for aerospace applications
increased in recent years. Deployable masts are special types of these structures where …

The objective of this study is to investigate the factors which affect the packing ratio of
