Deployable structures provide adaptability and versatility for applications such as temporary architectures, space structures, and biomedical devices. Jamming is a mechanical phenomenon with which dramatic changes in stiffness can be achieved by increasing the frictional and kinematic coupling between constituents in a structure by applying an external pressure. This study applies jamming, which h...
