About the Book

Research into and design of deployable structures requires the combination of many skills including knowledge of traditional mathematics, understanding of nonlinear structural behavior, use of modern numerical methods of simulation, and a great deal of engineering ingenuity. Accessible to practicing structural engineers and graduate students with no previous knowledge of the field, this title formulates and solves the complex engineering design problems with which deployable structures are associated. It also presents the issue of design of snap-through type deployable structures in an organized way which will be of interest to more experienced readers. Up-to-date practice and recent research results are highlighted throughout.

Table of Contents:
Part I Overview: Chapter 1 Introduction - The concept of deployable structures, Motivation for research, Potential applications, Advantages, Types of deployable structures, Research centers for deployable structures, Layout of the book; Chapter 2 Earth-Based Deployable Structures - Classification, Deployable structures based on pantographs, Deployable structures based on 2-D panels, Cable and membrane deployable structures, Pneumatic deployable structures, Tensegrity deployable structures, Retractable roofs, Other architectural applications; Chapter 3 Deployable Structures for Space Applications - Early designs, The concept of adaptivity, Recent designs. Part II Snap-through type deployable structures: Chapter 4 Introductory Remarks - The concept of snap-through, Examples of bi-stable structures, Historical evolution, Structural behavior; Chapter 5 Geometric Design - The geometric design approach, Polygonal units for flat structures, Geometric constraints for flat unit assemblages, Polygonal units for curved structures, Geometric constraints for curved unit assemblages, Trapezoidal units for flat structures, Structures with arbitrary geometry, Experimental verification, Concluding remarks on geometric design; Chapter 6 Structural Analysis - Overview, Analysis in the deployed configuration, Analysis during deployment; Chapter 7 Design Methodology - Introductory remarks, A general design methodology, A design methodology for flat structures, Optimization of material and cross-section properties; Chapter 8 Design Examples - Presentation of case studies, Deployable flat slab, Deployable semi-circular arch, Airship cover, Temporary shelter, Deployable scaffolding.
