Abstract: Mobile networks, constructed with simple linkages by tessellation, have great application potential in engineering as they could change their shapes according to the need of working state by one degree-of-freedom (DOF). ...

Abstract: Auxetic materials, a type of mechanical metamaterial with negative Poisson's ratio, are potentially utilized in the realms of energy absorption and engineering structures. However, most of the existing auxetic materials ...

Abstract: Deployable structures are widely utilized in various fields due to their ability to switch between a deployed working state and a folded storage state. This paper presents a new method for achieving plate forms in deployable ...
