Development of an Origami Inspired Composite Deployable Structure Utilizing Compliant Joints as Surrogate Folds

This work presents the design and construction of a self-deployable, self-stiffening,and retractable (SDSR) space array from carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP’s) and a working prototype is demonstrated. The effort required developing principles for the design of high-strain composite flexural j...
