Deployable Structure

A deployable structure is a structure that can reconfigure and change shape/size mainly from folding and unfolding, and has many applications from daily essentials (e.g., umbrella), vascular stents, to solar panels for spacecraft.
Origami, the art of paper folding, thus naturally provides inspirations for deployable structures.
In addition to deployable structures, origami recently has gained much attention as it has offered an appealing strategy on the development of 3D architectures across different length scales and metamaterials with tunable properties.
Many origami-inspired deployable structures are based on rigid origami patterns, in which the kinematic deformation is solely limited to the folding lines while the panels remain undeformed.
Well-known representatives of deployable rigid origami patterns are the Miura folding and its derivates.
In addition to rigid origami, another type is deformable origami, where the panels and the folding lines all bear deformation, such as the twisted square pattern.
Due to the simplicity of the kinematics of rigid origami, much attention has been focused on this type.
Despite recent active research in origami and related deployable structures, a critical aspect of the origami research that has been overlooked is whether the deployed structure remains in a deployed state under loading, such as vibration experienced by a deployed structure used in spacecraft.
