Leveraging pleat folds and soft compliant elements in inflatable fabric beams

Juan J. Huaroto,
Etsel Suarez,
Wangdo Kim
et al.

Abstract: Inflatable fabric beams (IFBs) integrating pleat folds can generate complex motion by modifying the pleat characteristics (e.g., dimensions, orientations). However, the capability of the IFB to return to the folded configuration relies upon the elasticity of the fabrics, requiring additional pressure inputs or complementary mechanisms. Using soft compliant elements (SCEs) assembled onto pleat folds is an appealing approach to improving the IFB elasticity and providing a range of spatial configurations when pre… Show more
