Deployable structures are flexible structures that can transform themselves from a stowed
state to a deployed state with a predetermined configuration upon actuation. Based on …

Bistable structures have attracted attention due to their unique properties and potential
applications in soft robotics, logic gates and energy harvesting devices. The bi-stability is …

We present a computational inverse design framework for a new class of volumetric
deployable structures that have compact rest states and deploy into bending-active 3D …

Deployable ring structures have been useful concepts for engineering design applications
due to their smooth transformation from an initially compact configuration to a substantially …

Abstract Space-deployable mechanisms can be used as supporting structures for large-
diameter antennas in space engineering. This study proposes a novel method for …

This paper studies a new bistable deployable composite boom (Bi-DCB) with central flat
region, and it can realize bistable function by storing and releasing strain energy, which has …

For many years, the design of bistable deployable structures with straight scissors has been
focused on evaluating the structural behaviour of rods during the deployment according to …

Lightweight bistable deployable structures can be designed to be transportable and
reusable. They instantaneously achieve some structural stability when transformed from the …

To align with the development trend of large aperture, high stiffness, and high expansion
ratio for space antennas, we propose a scissor-like hoop truss deployable antenna …

Bistable deployable scissor structures (BDS) are interesting solutions for temporary civil
engineering structures having the requirement of rapid erection and use. The transformation …
