    This document discusses research into using origami-inspired composite space structures with high-strain compliant laminate joints. The goals are to see how compliant joints behave in triangular panels using carbon fiber laminates and how to integrate them into a functional composite system. Prototypes were created using the joints, with the first failing due to torsion in the bending segments of the joints that had the shortest torsional segments. The second prototype aimed to address this issue.

    Motivation
    Research questions

    • How do compliant joints behave


    when used in triangular panels?

    • How do compliant joints behave


    using carbon fiber laminates?

    • How to integrate into a functional


    composite system?
    Background
    Background
    Using LET joints in products
    can be complicated.

    Irregular joint profiles and


    different materials choices
    need to inform the design,
    not ruin it
    Angled Arrays
    Model
    For Constant Radius Curvature

    𝐾1 = 𝐾2 = … = 𝐾𝑛

    Comparing a set of stiffnesses,


    • Minimize error between stiffnesses using
    𝐾6 torsional member dimensions as constraints
    𝐾5 and design variable
