Computational design of bistable deployable scissor structures: trends and challenges Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Mobile deployable scissor structures are transportable and can be transformed rapidly from a compact folded state offering a huge volume expansion. Intended geometrical incompatibilities during transformation can be introduced as a design strategy to obtain bistability, which allows instantaneously achieving some structural stability in the deployed state. In such bistable deployable structures, these incompatibilities result in the elastic ...
