In this study, we show a family of multilayered rigid-foldable and flat-foldable vault structures.
A vault can be designed by constructing a rigid-foldable curved folded tubular arch and …

This paper investigates the geometry of a foldable barrel vault with modified Miura-ori
patterns, which displays a curvature during the motion. The principal of spherical …

Thin sheets can be assembled into origami tubes to create a variety of deployable,
reconfigurable and mechanistically unique three-dimensional structures. We introduce and …

Rigidly foldable origami tubes with open ends have been reported in the past. Here, using a
mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be used as building blocks …

Rigid foldability is an important characteristic of origami structures that becomes significant
with non-paper materials. A rigidly foldable origami tessellation is one where the sectors …

We show a novel design method of one-DOF deployable mechanism based on a space
curve, through creating a curved folding and discretizing the folding into rigid origami. By …

Transformable polyhedral surfaces with rigid facets, ie, rigid origami, are useful for designing
kinetic and deployable structures. In order to apply rigid origami to various architectural and …

This paper introduces a novel origami pattern that enables the construction of polyhedral
shapes from a planar sheet. The proposed polyhedral origami exhibits rigid foldability, which …

In general, a quadrilateral-mesh surface does not enable a continuous rigid motion because
an overconstrained system, in which the number of constraints around degree-4 vertices …

We study the kinematics of leaf-out origami and explore its potential usage as
multitransformable structures without the necessity of deforming the origami's facets or …
