Short summary
This paper deals with the construction of a novel family of multimode deployable mechanisms. By connecting many identical threefold-symmetric Bricard-like mechanisms, a multimode deployable arch is proposed for the first time, which can switch between the scissor-like deployable mode and the arch deformable mode through the transition configuration. Then, new multimode center-driven deployable mechanisms can be obtained by connecting three and six multimode deployable arches.
