Abstract

Expandable bar structures can be adjusted to a range of shapes, as varied as for any other type of articulated structure. However strict requirements have to be fulfilled to make their geometry compatible with all the stages of unfolding. Some design models are discussed and classified according to their generation pattern and their kynematic constraints. An introduction to the method for structural analysis is also included, along with a number of examples.
