Structural Design of Barrel Vault Shaped Scissor Structures for Disaster Relief Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A structure that can transform from a compact bundle of scissor units to a fully expanded structural configuration is called a deployable scissor structure. Although these structures have numerous advantages over traditional structures (lightweight, compact, high-volume expansion) their practical realisation is quite limited due to their complex design process and high displacements. Research on their geometric and kinematic behaviour is ...
