Abstract
Abstract. This paper deals with the construction of a novel family of multimode deployable mechanisms based on reconfigurable Bricard-like mechanisms. By connecting a number of identical threefold-symmetric (TFS) Bricard-like mechanisms, a multimode deployable arch is proposed for the first time, which can switch between the scissor-like deployable mode and the arch deformable mode through the transition configuration. Then new multimode center-driven deployable mechanisms can be obtained by connecting three and six multimode deployable arches. The obtained mechanism can switch between the scissor-like deployable mode and spherical deformable mode, and it can be reassembled by adjusting the number of TFS Bricard-like mechanisms to change its size. Finally, physical prototypes of the multimode deployable arch and multimode center-driven deployable mechanisms are fabricated and tested to validate the feasibility of the proposed approach and analysis.
期刊介绍：
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
