Abstract

As a matter of fact, because of its unique portability and flexibility, the deployable structure can meet the needs of many fields of work, and has been widely used in various industries especially in recent years. With this in mind, this research will introduce the background of deployable structure, systematically introduce the basic principle as well as practical application of deployable structure. Based on the evaluations, the working principle of deployable structure represented by scissor structure, origami structure and scissor origami composite and how to work in practical applications are analyzed. According to the existing deployable structure, the limitations of deployable structure and the future development direction of deployable structure are pointed out and demonstrated. In this paper, the basic working principle and practical application of deployable structures are described by classifying deployable structures, and the types of existing deployable structures are summarized. Overall, these results pave a path for further exploration of deployable structure developments.
