“…Further, most skeletal structures are symmetric (Guest et al, 2010;Wei and Dai, 2010), as they can be transformed into configurations that are physically indistinguishable from the original configuration. Recently, group theory has been utilized as a systematic mathematical tool for studying the stability of symmetric structures Nikbakht, 2008, 2010;Kettle, 2008;Zingoni, 2009), as well as for designing novel deployable structures based on an existing deployable structure (Sareh and Guest, 2015a,b).…”
