Shape control of multi-cellular inflatable panels

N. KATAYAMA, K. ISHIMURA, K. MINESUGI, DANIEL J. INMAN

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2013, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 276-282 doi: 10.1007/s11465-013-0267-5

Abstract:

Multi-cellular inflatable structures are ultra-light and robust against membrane damage such as pinholes caused by space debris. Due to their robustness, inflatable structures supported by inner gases can be applied as space structures. In the present study, shape control for a simple multi-cellular inflatable panel was achieved via a novel diaphragm mechanism. When the bending actuator in a center membrane bends, the inner pressures of sub-cells become different, and the diaphragm mechanism bends as a whole. Because a sliding component is not included, this deformable system is a reliable mechanism. In addition, the proposed mechanism has higher rigidity than that of a bending actuator used alone. In the present paper, we investigate the feasibility of a novel diaphragm mechanism and its characteristics using experimental and numerical results.

Metamaterials: Reshape and Rethink Review

Ruopeng Liu, Chunlin Ji, Zhiya Zhao, Tian Zhou

Engineering 2015, Volume 1, Issue 2, Pages 179-184 doi: 10.15302/J-ENG-2015036

Abstract:

Metamaterials are composite materials whose material properties (acoustic, electrical, magnetic, or optical, etc.) are determined by their constitutive structural materials, especially the unit cells. The development of metamaterials continues to redefine the boundaries of materials science. In the field of electromagnetic research and beyond, these materials offer excellent design flexibility with their customized properties and their tunability under external stimuli. In this paper, we first provide a literature review of metamaterials with a focus on the technology and its evolution. We then discuss steps in the industrialization process and share our own experience.
