Design of Special Planar Linkages: Foldable Tower with Multi-planar Linkages [This chapter proposes a foldable tower for huge electrical equipment, which should be used as the support structure of wind turbine. The advantage of the flexibility to fold and unfold can be utilized for protecting the wind turbine when destructive weather occurs. The method is developed to establish the dynamic stiffness of the whole structure. The equivalent stiffness of the foldable tower is investigated as the function of deployment angle of the actuator. To expand the applications of the foldable structures, multi-planar linkages and the topology changeable linkages are discussed at the end of this chapter.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter proposes a foldable tower for huge electrical equipment, which should be used as the support structure of wind turbine. The advantage of the flexibility to fold and unfold can be utilized for protecting the wind turbine when destructive weather occurs. The method is developed to establish the dynamic stiffness of the whole structure. The equivalent stiffness of the foldable tower is investigated as the function of deployment angle of the actuator. To expand the applications of the foldable structures, multi-planar linkages and the topology changeable linkages are discussed at the end of this chapter.]
