Deployable structures
… of describing the meaning and applications of deployable structures (making emphasis in the scissor-hinged and sliding mechanisms.) and the development of new geometries, details, and mechanisms that make these systems buildable and useful for architectural applications. A deployable structure …

Biomimetic deployable structures
… inspiration can be drawn for the design of deployable structures with applications ranging from aerospace engineering through to disaster relief shelters. Analysis of deployable structures has proven to be challenging due to the non-linear behaviour and continuously changing geometry. This …
-
Smart deployable space structures
… to mechanical systems, a new class of smart deployable structures can be created. The shape change of the full structure can be significant by adding up these local changes induced by the reoccurring cell elements. The structure developed as part of this thesis consists of an array of …

Towards Deployable Robust Text Classifiers
… In this dissertation, we aim to develop more deployable and robust text classifiers, with a focus on improving classifier robustness against adversarial attacks by developing both attack and defense approaches. Adversarial attacks are a security concern for text classifiers, as they involve …

Sliceforms: Deployable structures from interlocking slices
… of such sliceforms toward the design of novel deployable structures. A sliceform torus, composed of two sets of inclined slices arranged at regular intervals about a central axis of symmetry, has been discovered to exhibit a surprising and intriguing folding action whereby its incomplete form …

Analysis of deployable strut roof structures
Deployable structures are structures that can change shape from a compact to an expanded form. Thus, their advantage over conventional structures is adaptability, whether in the sense of adapting to changing environmental conditions or being adapted for repeated transportation and deployment. These …

Framework for Concentrated Strain Deployable Trusses
… a simplified framework for the analysis of deployable trusses using the concentrated strain approach and uses it to provide key insights into the many design decisions to be made in the development of concentrated strain architectures. The framework uses Euler Column Theory to derive closed …

Optimization of Tapered Deployable Space Structures
Modern spacecraft utilize deployable structures for many applications to strike a balance between functionality and size within a launch vehicle. Due to volume restrictions in a launch vehicle these deployable structures are stowed in a collapsed configuration during launch and deployed when the …

Deployable structures inspired by the origami art
… specifically for its application in designing a deployable structure. I analyzed its crease pattern, exploring variations and their corresponding folded forms. Simultaneously, different material ideas for larger-scale structures were tested and a particular configuration was assessed for internal …

Investigation of deployable structures and their actuation
Deployable Structures had not been designed for use in the oil field industry, and additionally have not been designed as devices to perform mechanical work. By analyzing deployable structures a detailed understanding of the mechanism kinematics has been developed. Further, we have analyzed new …
