Abstract
111 this paper, scissor-link foldable structures known as
pantograph structures are studied. Recursive Quadratic
Programming Method is used for optimal design of double
layer grids, barrel vaults and antenna type space structures.
Examples are provided to show the performance of the
approach being employed.
