We introduce a computational pipeline for simulating and designing C-shells, deployable structures composed of beams with *curved* planar rest shapes.
C++ simulation framework for elastic rods and X-Shells.
Expressions for the stresses experienced by a discrete elastic rod and discussion of the forces/torques on X-Shell rivets.
X-Shells are a new class of deployable structures formed by an ensemble of elastic beams coupled by rotational joints.
