Once merely ancient arts, origami (ie, paper folding) and kirigami (ie, paper cutting) have in recent years also become popular for building mechanical metamaterials and now provide …
Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, is not only an inspiring technique to create sophisticated shapes, but also a surprisingly powerful method to induce nonlinear …

Origami has been employed to build deployable mechanical metamaterials through folding and unfolding along the crease lines. Deployable metamaterials are usually flexible …
Origami structures are commonly constructed by folding a two-dimensional sheet according to a given crease pattern. The existence of abundant crease patterns means that many three …
We investigate the unique mechanical properties of reentrant 3D origami structures based on the Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP). We explore the potential usage as mechanical …
Origami-inspired systems are attractive for creating structures and devices with tunable properties, multiple functionalities, high-ratio packaging capabilities, easy fabrication, and …
Thin sheets assembled into three dimensional folding origami can have various applications from reconfigurable architectural structures to metamaterials with tunable properties …
