Structure Design and Deflection Analysis of the New Large Deflection Lamina Emergent Joints
Two kinds of large deflection plane folding hinges, named OSD-LEJ (outside-series-deployed lamina emergent joint) and IOSD-LEJ (inverted-outside-series-deployed lamina emergent joint), are designed with flexible segments arranged in series on the outside, taking into account the inverted design principle.The structures of the two LEJs are designed,
