Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a systematic method for generating a planar expandable structure by adding hinged points and hinged rods based on uniform tessellation, including: establishing a database of planar uniform tessellation graphs; selecting, inputting a graph of arbitrarily size range, naming it Graph A; drawing a dual tessellation graph of the Graph A, and extracting a basic unit b from it; determining whether the basic unit b has rotational symmetry, if not, then expanding the basic unit b to adjacent units, and denoting a final combined unit as Graph C; choosing to add hinged points or hinged rods, adjusting a length of each side of the Graph C, making Graph C'; adding original tessellation polygons in the Graph A to corresponding angular points of the Graph C′, rotating at a predetermined angle; hinging adjacent polygons by the hinged points or hinged rods together to obtain an expandable structural unit.
