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 …

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 …

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 …

Polynomial continuation in the design of deployable structures
… continuation, especially in the field of deployable structure design. The power of polynomial continuation as a design tool lies in its ability to find all solutions of a system of polynomial equations (even positive dimensional solution sets). A linkage design problem posed in polynomial …

Thermal creak induced dynamics of space structures
Space structures may be subjected to a continually changing thermal environment due to Earth eclipse transients and changes in the spacecraft orientation. During the transient thermal state, components in a structure may experience different amounts of thermal strain due to temperature gradients or …
