Immature State-of-the-art Review on Origami-inspired Spaceborne Deployable Structures

doi:10.3901/JME.2021.23.053

Abstract

Abstract: As the ancient art originated from China and evolved in Japan, origami has recently gained popularity among scientists and engineers because of the technique is able to transform 2-dimensional sheet to 3-dimensional structure efficiently and vice versa, which has introduced a brand new idea to the innovation of spaceborne deployable structures. This study dedicates on the stat-of-the-art review of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional origami-inspired spaceborne deployable structures respectively, and recommends that the problems for deployment of rigid planar payloads, management of flexible structures, non-Euclidean origami, driven design and dynamics, gravity compensation and experiment, synthesis with other deployable mechanism may be concerned by scientists and engineers in the following investigations.

Key words: origami-inspired, deployable structure, state-of-the-art review
