Origami traces its origins to an ancient art form transforming flat thin surfaces into various
complex, fabulous 3D objects. Nowadays, such transformation transcends art by offering a …

Thin-walled hollow structures capable of large plastic deformations are ubiquitously present
in sacrificial, high-capacity energy absorbers. A significant challenge in the field of structural …

The origami hyperbolic paraboloid, or the hypar, is widely known for its characteristic non-
zero Gaussian curvature and multi-stable states. Previous investigations have mainly …

Rigid origami provides great theoretical potentials for designing metamaterials with
programmable mechanical properties. In this paper, a novel family of cellular mechanical …

Kresling pattern origami is known for its bistable property, as confirmed by the truss model
used to analyze its dynamics. However, our theoretical research and folding experiments …

Thin-walled structures have been widely applied as energy absorption devices due to their
lightweight, high energy dissipating capability through large deformation, and low cost. The …

Abstract Curved Crease Origami (CCO) structures exhibit intrinsic elastic behavior, resulting
from a combination of crease folding and facet bending. In this work, we introduce a generic …

In recent years, lattice kirigami metamaterials have attracted considerable attention due to
their unconventional and often intriguing mechanical properties. However, the absence of a …

Thin-walled tubes with an origami design, particularly the Kresling pattern, exhibit superior
mechanical properties compared to traditional straight tubes, including a more constant …

Multi‐stable structures and metamaterials with more than two stable states are widely
applied in diversified engineering applications. Non‐rigid foldable origami patterns have …
