Outline of Final Research Achievements

structural construction technology with foldable and deployable mechanisms. Firstly, an improved-type hinge mechanism model is proposed for civil engineering structures. This model is designed to avoid a conflict between panels during motions to change its configurations. Foldable and deployable performance and an out-of-plane action of panels are evaluated through numerical simulations. Secondly, a novel folding mechanism that has slanting folding-line by cutting a panel-edge is proposed for aerospace structures. Visualization of expansion of folded structures and mechanism analyses to expand in outer space are conducted. Thirdly, a 4D-printing method, which is developed as a novel printing process using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), is introduced to a joint between the rigid panel and flexible hinge. Deformability and durability of the flexible hinge are examined during deploying motions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

折紙の手法は,様々な工業製品の製作技術への応用技法として,世界的にも期待されている.しかしながら、厚みのないシートで可能な造形手法を厚みのあるプレート造形に応用するには、折込時に重なり合う面同士が干渉を起こさない工夫が必要となる。そこで、厚みのあるパネルを用いたミウラ折りを成立させるために、パネル面に対して傾斜するヒンジ線を持つ機構を新たに提案し、その同期展開性、収納性について定量的に示した。さらに、展開板構造の一体形成を想定し、同一材料に局所的な柔軟性を付与する4Dプリント技術の開発を新たに進めた。展開板構造の今後の実用化のために、本研究成果は、重要な貢献と意義と持つものと考えている。
