Transformable Active Bending: Elastic deformation as component transformation in transformable structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In a context of rapid changes, resource depletion and augmenting waste production, transformable structures facilitate reuse on a structural and component level. Increasing the transformational capacity of spatial structures enables speed and ease of erection and lowers the stacking volume during transportation. Thanks to its unique ability to use structural members under different curvatures and return bent elements to their initial straight or ...
