Abstract: Examples of a hinge for foldable components are described herein. In an example, the hinge can include a plurality of bracing elements, a bracing element from the plurality of bracing elements can be operably coupled to an adjacent bracing element from the plurality of bracing elements, to fold the plurality of bracing elements into an arcuate shape. Each bracing element can be supported and locked against the adjacent bracing element in the arcuate shape. The hinge can further include an end coupler at each longitudinal end of the hinge to couple the hinge to a flexible element.
