Deployable structures are a good solution for emergency buildings, due to their lightness and compact nature which means they can be transported to where they are needed. Nevertheless, the deployable structures studied to date have the drawback of being too deformable, so that larger and therefore heavier sections had to be used. This paper proposes a new type of deployable structure that uses reciprocal linkages which give rise to greater strength and rigidity. The geometrical and mechanical conditions of the linkages are analysed, as several different types which perform better can be designed, and a calculation method is developed to analyse structures of this type. The features and behaviour of a flat mesh with articulated reciprocal linkages are also compared analytically and experimentally. The theoretical calculations and experimental tests make it possible to prove the viability and efficacy of this new structural type.

由于其轻便和紧凑的性质，可展开结构是应急建筑的良好解决方案，这意味着它们可以被运输到需要的地方。然而，迄今为止研究的可展开结构具有太易变形的缺点，因此必须使用更大且因此较重的截面。本文提出了一种新型的可展开结构，该结构使用了相互连接以提高强度和刚度。由于可以设计出性能更好的几种不同类型，因此分析了连杆的几何和机械条件，并开发了一种计算方法来分析这种类型的结构。还通过分析和实验比较了带有铰接式相互连接的扁平网的特征和性能。
