Abstract

A method of manufacturing a foldable member. A plurality of C-section member plies (404, 406) are formed. First and second sets of the C-section member plies (404, 406) are assembled. Two sections of a tube are arranged in an end-to-end manner defining a gap therebetween. The first set of the C-section member plies is secured to one side of the two sections of the tube to bridge the gap therebetween and the second set of C-section member plies is secured to an opposing side of the two tube sections to also bridge the gap therebetween thus forming opposing slots separated by longitudinal strips of material between the slots which fold when subjected to localized buckling forces and which unfold when released. A foldable member manufactured in accordance with this method is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a structure made of one or more such foldable members.
