Abstract: Deployable load-bearing structures are useful for confined or temporary settings due to their stowability and deployability. Designing these structures involves balancing package dimensions with load-bearing capacity—defined ...

Abstract: Abstract. Tendon-constrained inflatables (TCIs), composed of inflatable bladder and internal tendons, provide rigid load-bearing (RLB) with high stiffness up to predefined thresholds based on the input pressure and tendon ...
