Design, motion planning and control of a reconfigurable hybrid structure
Phocas, Marios C.; Christoforou, Eftychios G.; Matheou, Maria (2015)•A reconfigurable hybrid structure has been developed.•Hinge connected beams are stabilized through struts and continuous cables.•The system reconfiguration is based on application of the effective 4-bar concept.•The system ...

Article
Experimental implementation of the ‘effective 4-bar method’ on a reconfigurable articulated structure
Christoforou, Eftychios G.; Phocas, Marios C.; Matheou, Maria; Müller, Andreas (2019)A structural concept for reconfigurable buildings is considered. Its basic element is the planar n-bar linkage whose joints are equipped with brakes. Stepwise reconfigurations are realized based on the ‘effective 4-bar’ ...

On the kinetics of reconfigurable hybrid structures
Matheou, Maria; Phocas, Marios C.; Christoforou, Eftychios G.; Müller, Andreas (2018)The paper refers to a basic reconfigurable structural typology of hinge-connected members forming of an n-bar planar linkage and a secondary system of struts and cables. The system aims at providing both structural stability ...

Reconfigurable Modular Bar Structure
Phocas, Marios C.; Matheou, Maria; Müller, Andreas; Christoforou, Eftychios G. (2019)Structural modularity and reconfiguration allow for enhanced flexibility and adaptability to changing functional, environmental or loading conditions, contributing thus to a sustainable built up environment. The current ...

Scale effect and load-bearing behavior of a reconfigurable hybrid structure
Matheou, M.; Phocas, M.C.; Christoforou, Eftychios G. (CRC Press, 2019)The current paper refers to a reconfigurable, planar structural typology of an arch-like structure that consists of eight hinge-connected members stabilized through a secondary system of struts and continuous cables of ...
