| Abstract | This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant will investigate the elastic behavior of structures that can unfold and deploy from compact configurations into useful 3D geometries. Deployable structures are used in several areas pertaining to robotics (e.g., soft robots used in minimally invasive surgeries and in search-and-rescue), to aeronautics and astronautics (e.g., smart airfoils, deployable mirrors and solar panels and sails in space missions) and to smart structures (e.g., deployab |
