提出了一种利用班尼特连杆机构的替代形式构造曲线型可展结构的方法。替代形式提供了结构单元完全折叠的能力。这些单元的布局类似于原始班尼特连杆的装配。这类可展开结构的优点是可以同时解决两个方向的折叠问题，这是原始连杆机构无法实现的。它们具有很大的工程应用潜力。
This paper presents a method of building curved-profile deployable structure using the alternative form of Bennett linkage. The alternative form provides the capability of completely folding for the structural unit. The layout of such units is similar to the assembly of original Bennett linkage. The advantage of this family of deployable structures is to solve the problem of folding in two directions simultaneously, which the original linkage cannot achieve. They have large potential in engineering application.
