Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of a type of foldable cylindrical structure, first presented in two earlier papers. Three cylinders of this type were designed and manufactured, ...

Abstract: This study was inspired by a model of a triangulated cylindrical shell made by C. R. Calladine during an investigation of the mechanics of biological structures. The model consisted of identical ...

Abstract: In the first paper of this series we have introduced a class of foldable triangulated cylinders. In this paper we consider three particular examples of these cylinders and analyse computationally ...
