Deployable composite structures and mechanisms represent a frontier in materials engineering, where innovative fabrication techniques and advanced design principles are utilised to create lightweight, ...

Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, but they are constrained by fairing size and by a tradeoff between deployed size and ...

Abstract: Deployable space structures are compacted and stowed during launch, and unfurled to their full dimensions once in space, enabling the large systems necessary to advance space science and ...

Deployable structures and mechanisms have become a cornerstone of modern space engineering, enabling the realisation of large apertures, antennas, and other functional systems from compact launch ...

Director of the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate, Col. Eric Felt, left, and Benjamin Urioste, a research engineer, prepare to break a satellite piñata, following the ...

NASA LaRC is seeking an industry partner to study the integration, deployment and packaging of secondary structures within inflation deployed volumes. Please see the attached, “Deployable Secondary ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A large family of deployable filamentary structures can be built by connecting two elastic rods along their length. The resulting structure ...

Researchers have developed a deployable system that is light, compact, inexpensive, easy to manufacture, and, most importantly, easy to deploy. By harnessing the mechanical instabilities in curved ...

"These structures could be used as medical devices, optical devices like camera focusing mechanisms, deployable wheels and turbines, furniture, or deployable shelters." A paper on the research was ...
