C-Shells: Deployable Gridshells with Curved Beams

Quentin Becker,
Seiichi Suzuki,
Yingying Ren
et al.

Abstract: We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells , a new class of planar-to-spatial deployable linkage structures. A C-shell is composed of curved flexible beams connected at rotational joints that can be assembled in a stress-free planar configuration. When actuated, the elastic beams deform and the assembly deploys towards the target 3D shape. We propose two alternative computational design approaches for C-shells: (i) Forward exploratio… Show more

“…A popular subset are deployable structures that transform from a planar state to a curved 3D surface, which offers significant advantages in terms of fabrication. Examples include hydrogels [Gladman et al 2016], auxetic materials Konakovic-Lukovic et al 2018], rod or tiles on pre-stretched fabrics [Guseinov et al 2017;Jourdan et al 2020Jourdan et al , 2022Pérez et al 2017], and deployable linkage systems [Becker et al 2023;Panetta et al 2019;Pillwein et al 2020;.…”
