    摘要: A shape-memory reflector is provided according to various embodiments. The shape-memory reflector may comprise any of various shapes; for example, the shape-memory reflector may comprise an off-axis paraboloid or a non-asymmetric shape. The shape-memory reflector may include a plurality of panel shape-memory stiffeners and a plurality of longitudinal stiffeners. In a stowed configuration, the shape-memory reflector is stowed with reversing bends in the panel shape-memory stiffeners. In a deployed state, the panel shape-memory stiffeners may be unfolded and/or extended. The reflector transitions between the stowed and deployed states by heating the panel shape-memory stiffeners. Various methods for stowing and deploying the shape-memory reflector are also disclosed.

    摘要: A deployable structure is disclosed. The deployable structure may include one or more slit-tube longerons; and one or more flat sheets coupled with the one or more slit-tube longerons. The one or more slit-tube longerons and the one or more flat sheets may be stowed by rolling the one or more slit-tube longerons and the one or more flat sheets together into a roll. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the one or more slit-tube longerons may be exposed when stowed. In another embodiment, the one or more slit-tube longerons may be manufactured from a shape memory material. These slit-tube longerons unroll into to a straight configuration when exposed to heat.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described for fluid-dynamic structures operable to be reconfigured during use. Embodiments of the fluid-dynamic structures include a number of reconfigurable members separated by non-reconfigurable members. The reconfigurable members may be manufactured from temperature-sensitive polymeric foam, which become compliant at certain temperatures. The structure may also include an actuator assembly, operable to apply a reconfiguration force along a reconfiguration path, to reconfigure the structure between two or more volumetric shapes. Some embodiments also include a temperature regulation assembly for regulating the temperature of the reconfigurable members, and a structural attachment assembly for attaching the structure to a structure.
