  • Folding patterns for ultra-thin deployable membranes 
    Liyanage, PM; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]
    A deployable structure should mainly be adequately compact and should fit into any remaining space of the launch vehicle. The main factors which will determine these are the folding pattern, ease of deployment and stresses ...
  • Modified spiral folding pattern for deployable membranes 
    Liyanage, PM; Gangasudan, N; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Article-Full-text]
    Solar sails which provide propellant free propulsion are quite effective for missions that utilize small spacecrafts. These structures require a larger surface area compared to launch vehicles, hence require adopting ...
  • Origami based folding patterns for compact deployable structures 
    Liyanage, PM; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Conference-Abstract]
    A deployable structure should mainly be adequately compact and should fit into any remaining space of the launch vehicle. The main factors which will determine these are the folding pattern,ease of deployment and stresses ...
