| Research Abstract |
The aim of our study is to propose and develop spatial structures that provide novel mechanical properties, constructing the model on flexibly jointed structures from the view of rotational characteristics of joints. To this end, in the 2011 we have carried out the development of three-dimensional joint modeling which represents the multi rotational characteristic at a joint. In parallel, we have newly found a structural framework with a bi-stiffness property. In the 2012 our research has been focused on the novel structure we obtained in the previous year, and then, we have concretely proposed the cellular structure that exhibits a soft-and-stiff property and have made its design development.
