Three main themes are discussed in this book: concepts, working principles, and mechanics of deployable structures, both in engineering and biology; in addition: theory of foldable bar structures and application to deployable tensegrieties; formulation of large-rotation analysis of deployable structures...
Deployable structures can realize the transformation from a folded configuration to a deployed configuration to satisfy the requirements of applications. They have been widely used in aerospace structures, civil temporary components, medical devices, transformable robotics and other engineering applications. A...
The deployable structure has a wide application both in space structures and in general mechanical engineering. However, the mechanism theory of such deployable structures based on SLE is seldom probed systematically. Therefore, this paper starts from the mobility analysis of simple planar linkages, ...
The future trend is provided to guide engineering practices and promote aerospace science and technology. 2. Space deployable structures and driving mechanics Owning to fast development in space technologies, as well as the micro-satellite industries, space deployable structures and mechanics have been ...
experiments and numerical analyses to understand the geometry of curved, slender beams and what happens when those beams rotate and buckle. By harnessing buckling—a normally undesirable phenomenon in design and engineering—the researchers were able to design deployable structures with a simple ...
Hi all! I'm a student in architectural engineering. For my thesis I'm designing deployable structures. I have written a code in GH which generates my deployable structures. My structures are based on grids of equilateral triangles. These grids will be populated with a deployable module to gene...
2020, Engineering Structures Citation Excerpt : Li et al. [16] utilized the absolute nodal coordinate method to analyze the flexible body dynamics of the deployable structures under different temperatures and space environments. Based on the structural dynamic characteristics, Li [17] investigated the ...
In the field of space engineering, origami-inspired deployable structures such as solar arrays [2] and satellite antennas [3] have to be packed into smaller volumes for transportation [4]. As many space structures are rigid when deployed, rigid origami, a branch of origami, has become the ...
As one kind of deployable structures,foldable structures are widely used lately. 折叠结构是近年来应用越来越广泛的一种可展开结构形式。 3. As one kind of deployable structures,foldable structures are a new type of space structure used in civil engineering. ...
可展结构(Deployable structures)是20世纪六十年代诞生而发展起来的一种新型空间结构。 2. Due to these characteristics, deployable structures which can meet the special requirements, catch the universal attention in the fields of outer space and civil engineering. 可展结构是具有展开功能的结构体系的统称...
