Deployable Rigidization Systems

Deployable Rigidization Systems is a class of variable stiffness mechanisms that integrates structural deployability with on-demand rigidization, distinguishing itself by enabling reversible morphological adaptation from a compact, compliant configuration to an expanded, load-bearing state through controlled stiffness modulation.
