• A new reciprocal linkage for expandable emergency structures 

      Pérez-Valcárcel, Juan; Suárez-Riestra, Félix; Muñoz-Vidal, Manuel; López-César, Isaac; Freire-Tellado, Manuel J. (Elsevier, 2020)
      Expandable structures have certain qualities in terms of lightness and transportability which make them very useful as emergency buildings, a research line that is being developed by the authors. However, these structures ...
    • A new system of deployable structures with reciprocal linkages for emergency buildings 

      Pérez-Valcárcel, Juan; Muñoz-Vidal, Manuel; Suárez-Riestra, Félix; López-César, Isaac; Freire-Tellado, Manuel J. (Elsevier, 2021)
      Deployable structures are a good solution for emergency buildings, due to their lightness and compact nature which means they can be transported to where they are needed. Nevertheless, the deployable structures studied to ...
    • Comparative study of the geometric incompatibilities in the dinamica of expandable structures 

      López Hernández, Enrique; Muñoz-Vidal, Manuel (International Association of Space Structures, 2000-06-04)
      Expandable meshes are structures built by bars articulated at the extremes and with a passing articulation at the central knot. The calculation of these structures presents numerous difficulties, but ...
    • Deployable Cylindrical Vaults With Reciprocal Linkages for Emergency Buildings 

      Pérez-Valcárcel, Juan; Muñoz-Vidal, Manuel; Suárez-Riestra, Félix; López-César, Isaac; Freire-Tellado, Manuel J. (Elsevier, 2021-10)
      [Abstract] Deployable bar structures are especially useful for emergency buildings. These structures require simplicity and ease of assembly and their performance can be improve by using reciprocal linkage at their bars ...
    • Expandable covers of skew modules for emergency buildings 

      Pérez-Valcárcel, Juan; Muñoz-Vidal, Manuel; Freire-Tellado, Manuel J.; López-César, Isaac; Suárez-Riestra, Félix (IJIESR, 2020)
      Deployable structures can be a good response to disaster situations, where it is necessary to provide services to a displaced population. They can be compacted into a lightweight and easily transportable package and deployed ...
