The two main design methods used for scissor linkages are the unit-based method and the loop-based method. While the unit-based method is based on serial multiplication of the scissor units the loop-based method is based on aligning predefined loop types onto the desired curve. When the input parameter is the desired curvature for the finally deployed configuration of the linkage the loop-based method is easier and more convenient for defining the scissor units to create the whole linkage geometry. Most of the existing studies on the loop-based method deal with identical or arbitrary loops. Hybrid loop assemblies have not yet been studied although they may offer different geometric alternatives. This work aimed to fill this gap in the literature and present a geometric design approach for scissor linkages composed of hybrid loop assemblies using frieze patterns. First the basic terminology such as loop types loop assemblies and frieze patterns is introduced. Then we discuss scissor linkages using hybrid loops generated using a predefined rectilinear geometry in which frieze groups are used to provide diverse variations. The kinematic definitions of the represented linkages are then explained. To reveal the potential applications of the scissor linkages composed of hybrid loops a case study was conducted in which the proposed linkages were used as a canopy structure. After discussing the potential for using hybrid loops and their deployment we present the concluding remarks and make suggestions for future research.

Foldable structures, a notable category of deployable structures, are particularly well-suited for disaster relief shelters owing to their durability, adaptability, compactness, and high customizability. They generally feature simple mechanisms that ensure efficient storage and transport, withstand varying weather conditions, and eliminate the need for additional covering systems by utilizing rigid plates. Despite their potential, foldable structures have been the subject of limited research in the context of developing disaster relief shelters. This paper introduces a rigid foldable structure, FoldEX, designed to achieve compact folding for efficient transportation and rapid deployment as a disaster relief shelter. The proposed shelter folds from an expanded configuration of 4 m x 2.7 m x 2.7 m to a compact form of 4 m x 0.8 m x 2.7 m, achieving approximately a 70% reduction in storage volume. The system is designed for vertical stacking, allowing up to nine FoldEX units to be transported on a single truck. The shelter mechanism incorporates hinges strategically positioned along the panel edges to guide the intended folding directions, with each hinge allowing rotational motion - 1800 for small triangular panels and 900 for rectangular ones - to enable full folding and unfolding while maintaining structural stability. Following a kinematic analysis to characterize the motion patterns during the folding and unfolding, the design is validated through 1:10-scale 3D-printed prototypes, which demonstrate precise motion. Furthermore, three different unit combinations are proposed to demonstrate flexible layout possibilities.Article Proposal for a deployable architectural umbrella using scissor linkages and foldable plates(Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Yenal Akgün; Charis J. Gantes; George D. Pantazis; Özgür Kilit; Canberk Kavuncuoğlu; Bensu Atlamaz; Kilit, Özgür; Pantazis, Georgios D.; Atlamaz, Bensu; Kavuncuoğlu, Canberk; Akgün, Yenal; Gantes, Charis J.Deployable architectural umbrellas are widely used for providing shade in large open spaces combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. Most existing designs rely on structural mechanisms as the primary framework with membranes or textiles serving as the covering material. Although this approach reduces structural weight and simplifies deployment and detailing textile covers are often susceptible to environmental wear and damage from repeated use. This paper introduces a novel deployable architectural umbrella that utilizes scissor linkages for the main framework and rigid foldable plates for the cover. By employing these durable materials the design addresses the limitations of textile-based covers supports varied shading geometries and enables the integration of photovoltaic panels. The paper begins with a review of existing deployable umbrellas and canopy systems followed by a brief review of scissor linkage mechanisms in the literature. A detailed presentation of the proposed architectural design and its features is provided. A kinematic analysis is then conducted examining the system's workspace and geometric constraints. Finally structural analyses of a typical deployed configuration are presented to assess stiffness limitations highlighting the benefits and potential of this innovative deployable umbrella design. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
