This paper explores the use of simultaneous tensile buckling of unit cells to induce a
transformation in lattice topology. Under tension, unit cells undergo passive transformation …

Reconfigurable mechanisms are widely utilized in the design of intelligent robots and
devices capable of adapting to diverse environments and requirements. While the design of …

Current research on variable-DOF (or kinema-totropic) single-loop spatial mechanisms is
mainly about single-loop 7R mechanisms. This paper is about the motion mode analysis of a …

The design and analysis of reconfigurable mechanisms is a hot topic in the current research,
but few studies discuss the impact of geometric parameter changes on the mechanism's …

Deployable structures are widely utilized in various fields due to their ability to switch
between a deployed working state and a folded storage state. This paper presents a new …

Metamorphic mechanisms that can adapt to a variety of working conditions with distinct
configurations, have gained widespread attention in recent years. However, it's always …

Multi-mode parallel mechanisms (PMs)[1, 2] are a novel class of reconfigurable mechanisms
that can switch between different operation modes without the need for disconnection and …

Incorporating, by design, tensile buckling into the macroscopic response of lattice structures
offers a novel approach for adaptive (meta-) material/structure development. In this study, we …

Variable-DOF (or kinematotropic) mechanisms are a class of reconfigurable mechanisms
that have varying degrees of freedom (DOF) in different motion modes and can be …

This paper presents a 6R metamorphic mechanism with a novel variable-axis joint, which
can achieve compliant switching between motion branches. This paper involves the …
