We introduce a class of continuum shell structures, the Buckliball, which undergoes a
structural transformation induced by buckling under pressure loading. The geometry of the …

Deployable structures can provide a change in the geometric morphology of the envelope
by contributing to making it adaptable to changing external climate factors, in order to …

In this thesis, an extensive review on different transformable systems used in architecture
and civil engineering is given. After the review, structures undergoing large displacements …

A new linkage type for resizing polygonal and polyhedral shapes is proposed. The single
degree-of-freedom planar linkages considered mainly consist of links connected by revolute …

An objective atomic structure is a collection of atoms represented by mass points or ions for
which every atom sees precisely the same atomic environment, up to rotation (or, more …

This paper deals with the design of a new class of reconfigurable deployable Platonic
mechanisms (RDPMs). At first, reconfigurable angulated element (RAE) with four half …

This chapter presents two broad themes. The first is the unique non-Euclidean
characteristics of spheres and second the objectives for the orderly distributing points on a …

This paper dealt with the construction of a novel class of reconfigurable deployable
polyhedral mechanisms (RDPMs). A parallelograms mechanism was designed by …

The identification of finite mechanisms in statically and kinematically indeterminate
structures is, in general, a difficult problem. However, Kangwai and Guest [1999] showed …
