Abstract: | Using elastic deformations, bending-active reciprocal frames can lead to structurally efficient systems for rapidly assembled, lightweight structures. We present an approach to develop them from equilateral polyhedral shapes. A full-scale prototype demonstrates the use of double-layered components. |
