Resumen de Development of a Deployable Geodesic Full Sphere
Ken'ichi Kawaguchi, Takuto Sato, Xue Yang, Namil Seo
A study was made of a deployable geodesic full sphere of human size, which may be used as a skeleton for personal shelter, assembled with triangular grids of scissor units. A geodesic pattern provides structural uniformity and triangular grids give geometrical stability to the deployed configuration. The design processes of two models (PET and CFRP material) and their unfolding tests are shown, alongside a comparison with numerical studies. A oneman unfolding scheme is also investigated.
