Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Synthesis of Scalable Planar Scissor Linkages With Anti-Parallelogram Loops(Springer Verlag, 2019) Gür, Şebnem; Karagöz, Cevahir; Kiper, Gökhan; Korkmaz, KorayScissor linkages are commonly used as mechanisms for scaling objects. They constitute a significant portion of deployable structures. Since 1960s many researchers sought to form novel structures using the scissor units. In 1990s Hoberman brought a new perspective to the field when he used the loops, not the units to form linkages. Starting from mid 2000s, other researchers joined into this new approach of design. One of the latest researches presented a design for scaling a circular forms with anti-parallelogram loops. This study shows that an anti-parallelogram loop assembly can also be used for scaling planar curves with variable curvature.Book Part Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Kinematic Design of a Reconfigurable Deployable Canopy(Springer Verlag, 2014) Kiper, Gökhan; Gürcü, Fulya; Korkmaz, Koray; Söylemez, EresA reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four as-sembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived. These conditions impose three equality and two inequality constraints on the 11 design parameters of the mechanism. A virtual model of the mechanism is constructed in Excel for design and simulation purposes. A computational case study is presented.
