Abstract

Two-way-fold-deployable structures is a term proposed for deployable structures which have ability to deploy in two orthogonal directions and consist of planar non-deforming elements. The research on them is inspired by the idea of two-way folding a plane presented in [1] as well as the results attained in two different types of deployable structures, both known from spectacular realizations built in Seville: scissors structures (Cover on the Swimming Pool designed by Escrig, Sanchez and Valcarcel [2] [3]) and one-way-fold-deployable structures (Venezuelian Pavilion designed for EXPO’92 by Zalewski and Hernandez [4][5]). The aim of using the term two-way-fold-deployable for new structures, is to distinguish them from scissors structures, named similarly in [6] — two way deployable structures.
