Pellegrino (Ed.), ''Deployable Structures,'' CISM International Center for Mechanical Sciences, Springer, 2002]</ref><ref>http://www-civ.eng.cam.ac.uk/dsl/</ref> Examples of deployable structures are [[umbrella]]s, [[bistable structure]]s, some [[tensegrity]] structures, [[bistable structure]]s, some [[Origami]] shapes and scissor-like structures.
