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 ...

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

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

Sudarshan Krishnan, professor in architecture, has been developing deployable and moving structures that could broaden an architect’s knowledge of structures. The deployable structures Krishnan built ...
