Deployable structures are characterized by lightness, transformability, compactness, rapid assembly and disassembly, ease of transportation, and material reuse. Designers have found great potential in deployable structures for various terrestrial and outer-space applications.

The kinematic design of reconfigurable deployable canopy mechanisms with radially distributed limbs are presented in this study. The mechanisms allow a compact form and are reconfigurable with several alternative deployed forms which can be …

Dec 3, 2024 · Deployable structures are creative solutions that can change from a compact design to an operational fully deployed one. These structures are designed to be compact during transport or storage but can expand, unfold, or otherwise reconfigure themselves when activated.

Jan 1, 2014 · A reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four assembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived.

reconfigurable deployable structures as prefabricated structures that can be transformed from a closed compact configuration to multiple alternative expanded forms. The aim of this study is to develop a multifunctional reconfigurable canopy which can fold and deploy in a few minutes for urgent needs after disasters, military purpose

A field deployable control tower. A deployable structure is a structure that can change shape so as to significantly change its size. [1] [2]Examples of deployable structures are umbrellas, some tensegrity structures, bistable structures, some Origami shapes and scissor-like structures. Deployable structures are also used on spacecraft for deploying solar panels and solar sails.

Nov 1, 2021 · This paper investigates the geometry design, deployment kinematics, and motion compatibility of origami canopy based on Arc Miura-ori patterns. Fig. 1 demonstrates the basic model of the canopy, the corresponding card model, and its movement process. Firstly, the geometry design of the Arc Miura-ori units is analyzed, followed by the parametric ...

A reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four as-sembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived.

Modular material storage canopies, such as OPUS by McGregor Structures, aim to address this critical need in a range of operations that include commercial recycling, aggregate distribution, construction, and more in the most feasible way for businesses.

Jul 1, 2013 · Deployable-collapsable structures have many potential applications ranging from emergency shelters and facilities, through relocatable, semi-permanent structures, to space-station components.
