Abstract:
Tessellation is an efficient and convenient way to construct large mobile mechanisms with less DOF and has been widely adopted in large deployable structures, in which origami/kirigami is usually adopted as units due to its better symmetric properties. However, the existing origami/ kirigami units are quite limited because the discovery mainly depends on the inspiration of designers. In this paper, we propose a new way to find units by setting link lengths to be zero with overconstrained linkages. A kirigami pattern is obtained from twofold-symmetric Bricard 6R linkage and two kinds of novel tessellations are subsequently constructed. Kinematic analysis shows that the obtained tessellations can be folded as tubular and eggbox-like structures. Meanwhile, the folding performance of these tessellations on geometric parameters is analysed for potential applications, and the results are validated by fabricating some prototypes. Therefore, the proposed kirigami pattern and the corresponding tessellations extend the family of large deployable structures.
