An optimal design approach is developed for a self-driven, self-locking tape-spring under a
pure bending load in deployable space structures. A novel hinge with three tape springs is …

Origami has inspired work in many fields of science and engineering. However, it can be
difficult to transfer the motion of an origami design from folded paper to thicker, stiffer …

Fracture of the hard and thick key layer can easily cause dynamic disasters, such as the rock
burst and mine seismicity, which seriously threatens the safety of underground coal mining …

Coal mining causes overlying rocks to collapse and be destroyed. Overburdened crevasses
provide a channel for gas discharge, which is a serious safety hazard. To study the evolution …

A design methodology is proposed for deployable tube flexures made of ultra-thin carbon
fiber composite. The methodology is developed to achieve desired stowage and deployment …

失效判断准则, 分析管铰链在弯曲折叠过程中可能出现的失效模式和力学行为 …

The paper presents the computational and experimental studies of the stress-strain state of
the composite flexible joint during transformation of the rod structure. A flexible joint consists …

This thesis uses a systems engineering approach to define and analyze a tape spring
system. The tape spring is a modular representation of much larger deployable structures …
