Deployable truss
Description

The deployable smart-polymer truss employs smart polymer actuators to achieve an integrated design that combines load-bearing, self-locking, and controlled deployment capabilities.

Advantage
 Lightweight Various structural forms  Simple driving structure
 Stable deployment process Low impact High reliability

The deployable truss with tip load based on smart deformable polymer composites has been applied in Shijian satellites.

It can be applied to deployment structures such as extension arms and gravity gradient rods.
