Shape morphing hinged truss structures
Truss structures are widely used for the support of structural loads in applications where minimum mass solutions are required. Their nodes are normally constructed to resist rotation to maximize their stiffness under load. A multi-link node concept has recently been proposed that permits independent rotation of tetrahedral trusses linked by such a joint. High authority shape morphing truss str...
متن کاملDeployable Soft Composite Structures
Deployable structure composed of smart materials based actuators can reconcile its inherently conflicting requirements of low mass, good shape adaptability, and high load-bearing capability. This work describes the fabrication of deployable structures using smart soft composite actuators combining a soft matrix with variable stiffness properties and hinge-like movement through a rigid skeleton....
متن کاملClosed-Loop Deployable Structures
This paper is concerned with a novel kind of deployable structures that form closed loops that fold into a bundle of bars using simple hinges. These structures, first envisaged by Dr J.M. Hedgepeth, have potential applications for ultra-lightweight solar arrays, solar sails, and radar structures. A systematic study of the kinematics of closed-loop structures is carried out, and a scheme for sim...
متن کاملIndeterminate Architecture : Scissor Pair Transformable Structures
Most traditional architectural theories and practices aim at designing unique, fixed and ideal solutions. The general belief is that the final shape of a building can be achieved by analyzing present situations, such as clients’ stated needs, demands and desires. Likewise, this approach is based on descriptions and assumptions, which consider future situations as certain, invariable and in a pa...
متن کاملFlexibility in Architecture: An Innovative Design for Covering of a Transformable Dome Using Kinetic Elements
Flexibility is a concept associated with variable needs of human beings.Today transformable structures are used to meet human changeable demands with different purposes and functions such as facades, roofs, sunshades, etc.A Flexible structure must be able to change physically and adapt to predetermined conditions.To provide flexibility and adaptability,transformable systems are required to poss...
