A '''deployable structure''' is a structure that can change shape so as to significantly change its size.<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/dp/3211836853 S. Pellegrino (Ed.), ''Deployable Structures,'' CISM International Center for Mechanical Sciences, Springer, 2002]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www-civ.eng.cam.ac.uk/dsl/|title=Deployable Structures}}</ref>
Examples of deployable structures are [[umbrella]]s, some [[tensegrity]] structures, [[bistable structure]]s, some [[Origami]] shapes and scissor-like structures. Deployable structures are also used on spacecraft for deploying [[solar panel]]s and [[solar sail]]s.
