摘要
En 中文
Due to their unique bistable characteristics, deployable self-locking structures are suitable for many engineering fields. Without changing the geometrical composition, such structures can be unfolded and locked solely by the elastic deformation of materials. However, their further applications are hampered by the lack of simple and systematic geometric design methodologies that consider arbitrary structural curvature profiles. This paper proposes such a methodology for double-layer semicylindrical grid structures to simplify their cumbersome geometric design. The proposed methodology takes joint sizes into account to ensure that the design results can be applied to actual projects without further adjustments. By introducing symmetry into the structural units (SUs) and selecting reasonable geometric parameters that describe the structural side elevation profile, a concise set of simultaneous nonlinear geometric constraint equations is established, the solution of which provides the geometric parameter values of the grid shape. On this basis, the remaining geometric parameter values, i.e., the geometric parameter values of the inner scissor-like elements (SLEs) of each SU, can be achieved from the equations derived from general SLEs. Design examples and the assembled physical grid structure indicate the feasibility and wide applicability of the proposed geometric design methodology.
