Plant design for deterministic control of STEMS and tale-springs
… for long stroke applications are discussed, and tape-spring based actuators such as the STEM are introduced as an alternative solution. While the literature contains several assessments of self-deploying tape-springs, little exists in the area of closed loop deterministic control of such …

High Shear Strain Characterization of Plain Weave Fiber Reinforced Lamina
… plies of typical cylindrical members (tape springs, slit tubes, etc.) when subjected to high shear strains. The intention is to key on this respective viscoelastic lamina and tailor it in a way that provides a sufficient amount of structural damping while still preserving the deployment …

Thin-walled composite deployable booms with tape-spring hinges
… for lightweight composite booms with multiple tape-spring hinges. The whole process of folding and deployment of the tape-spring hinges under both quasi-static and dynamic loading has been captured in detail through finite element simulations, starting from a micro-mechanical model of the …
