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 ...

If you've ever opened an umbrella or set up a folding chair, you've used a deployable structure - an object that can transition from a compact state to an expanded one. You've probably noticed that ...

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

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 ...

Design by Sara Fang. Buy this photo. Origami is the art of paper folding, where people can make cranes, flowers and other objects out of paper. But Evgueni Filipov, associate professor of civil and ...

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 ...

Architecture students of the American University of Beirut used an ephemeral design to approach the lack of awareness of marine biodiversity and responsible use of the coast of Tyre. The proposal ...

The rapid advancements in satellite technology have been inextricably bound up with the support provided by sophisticated space folding mechanisms. In addition, with the rapid progression of space ...

Researchers have harnessed the domino effect to design deployable systems that expand quickly with a small push and are stable and locked into place after deployment. If you've ever opened an umbrella ...
