investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Ultra-lightweight Deployable Space Structures
The ultra-lightweight construction of large, deployable space structures is a fundamental prerequisite for the realization of Solar Sail propulsion concepts. In addition to the functionality of the deployment technique and the development of control concepts, lightweight aspects and their technical implementation play a key role in future Solar Sail missions. A further development of the set-up...
متن کاملKinematic Bifurcations in the Simulation of Deployable Structures
This paper deals with the kinematic simulation of deployable structures that go through bifurcation points as they move. A series of algorithms are developed for structures that can be modelled using pin-jointed bars and that admit a single-parameter motion. These algorithms are able to detect and locate any bifurcation points that exist along the path of the structure and, at each bifurcation ...
متن کاملA Numerical Approach to the Kinematic Analysis of Deployable Structures forming a Closed Loop
This paper is concerned with spatial linkages forming a closed loop. In one extreme configuration (deployed), these linkages form a frame of polygonal shape, such as a square or a hexagon, and in the other extreme (folded) configuration form a tight bundle. Throughout their motion range, they have mobility one. These linkages have potential applications for next-generation deployable spacecraft...
متن کاملA rotational joint for shape morphing space truss structures
A rotational joint is introduced for use in shape morphing or deployable space truss structures. The joint is a chain mechanism comprising up to six pivoted linkages that provide a compact mechanism for the connection of up to six structures at a node. The total number of degrees of freedom for a constrained joint mechanism with six links is found. A closed chain model is then used to determine...
