New Concepts for Deployable-Collapsable Structures
Deployable-collapsable structures have many potential applications, ranging from emergency shelters and facilities, through relocatable semi-permanent structures, to space-station components. A new concept of self-stabilized/self-supported “clicking” structures – featuring stable, stress-free states in both deployed and collapsed forms – shows even greater promise. This article highlights the state-of-the-art in the field of deployable-collapsable structures and discusses their advantages and limitations. A unique concept of “clicking” structures is introduced, and its basic capabilities are presented and discussed. Finally future research needs are mapped out.
