This model demonstrates the development of a joint without eccentricity specifically designed for scissor-type deployable structures. Such joints are crucial for ensuring the structural integrity and efficiency of deployable mechanisms, commonly used in expandable or retractable structures. The model focuses on optimizing joint configurations to enhance the performance and reliability of these systems. More details can be found in the analysis of construction mechanics and material behavior.
