摘要
En 中文
A composite tape-spring (CTS) structure is a thin-walled open slit tube with fibres oriented at +/- 45, which is stable in both extended and coiled configurations. The governing factors of its bistability include composite constitutive behaviour, initial geometrical proportions, and geometrically non-linear structural behaviour. Its bistable principle can be employed to produce a flexible multistable hinge structure with tailorable stability. This is achieved by introducing variable stiffness design within a cylindrical shell structure, where folding stability is dependent on central functional patch region, and then connected to linking ploy regions. Thus, a novel multistable composite hinge structure can be designed with positive Gaussian curvature deformation, and its multistability is highly tailorable: a lengthy one-dimensional mechanical arm can be designed to coil and fold multiple times to enable large folding ratio. An analytical model was established based on the strain energy principle, in order to determine effects from functional tape length; the typical structural stability and stable configurations were then predicted with respect to regional length of the functional layer. It is found that the stability of a multistable composite hinge structure is dependent on geometry and combination of both the functional patch region, and connecting ploy region; the stable criteria are then proposed and show good agreement with experimental observations and FE analysis. These enrich the diversities of functional deployable structures to benefit novel requirements for various deployable mechanisms, and enable customised design, as well as smart driving for flexible and multifunctional mechanical composite hinge applications.
