Four-fold-mechanisms, such as the Miura-Ori-pattern, and its possible combinations are
investigated by completing the mathematical description of a thin paper model done by
Haas [1], with influences resulting from the ...

[EN] Emilio Pérez Piñero carried out a transportable pavilion for exhibitions based on a flat reticular deployable structure made out of aluminium. A roof of 8.000 sqm covered the commemorative exhibition Spain 64. This ...
Linkages have been widely used in machines and deployable structures, but these mechanisms have rarely been employed in the design of movable bridges. This paper explores the use of linkages both to actuate the kinematic ...

In this paper, we present a novel cylindrical deployable structure and variations of its design with the following characteristics:
1. Flat-foldable: The shape flattens into a compact 2D configuration.
2. Rigid-foldable: ...

In some space missions, the highest priority of the structural design is given to the
geometry of the surface which has to be packaged and then deployed in space. Large space antennas and large solar cell arrays are such ...
