Creating a model of three-dimensional spatial structures that provide novel mechanical properties

本研究的目的是提出和开发具有新颖力学性能的空间结构，从关节转动特性的角度构建柔性连接结构的模型。为此，在2011年，我们开展了三维关节建模的开发，该建模代表了一个关节的多旋转特性。同时，我们新发现了一种具有双刚度特性的结构框架。2012年，我们的研究重点是前一年获得的新颖结构，然后，我们具体提出了具有软-硬特性的细胞结构，并进行了设计开发。

The aim of our study is to propose and develop spatial structures that provide novel mechanical properties, constructing the model on flexibly jointed structures from the view of rotational characteristics of joints. To this end, in the 2011 we have carried out the development of three-dimensional joint modeling which represents the multi rotational characteristic at a joint. In parallel, we have newly found a structural framework with a bi-stiffness property. In the 2012 our research has been focused on the novel structure we obtained in the previous year, and then, we have concretely proposed the cellular structure that exhibits a soft-and-stiff property and have made its design development.
