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 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 …

This paper presents a new elastic origami-inspired structure with quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS)
characteristics to provide effective low-frequency vibration isolation performance. The …

Origami has served as the inspiration for a number of engineered systems. In most cases,
they require nonpaper materials where material thickness is non-negligible. Foldable …

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 …

Carbon lives along with us in our daily life and has a vital role to play. It is present in the air
and within all living organisms. Due to its handheld advantage in nano-properties that are …

An origami metamaterial with two-stage programmable compressive strength is proposed by
combining the stacked Miura-origami and rhombic honeycomb structure. By adjusting the …

An analytical model of the quasi-static response of Miura-ori based metamaterial to in-plane
compression was first developed to describe the major mechanical characteristics related to …

A carbon fiber-reinforced composite foldcore based on curved-crease origami was designed
and fabricated using a hot press molding method. The fabrication process based on curved …

Starting from simple notions of paper folding, a review of current challenges regarding folds
and structures is presented. A special focus is dedicated to folded tessellations which are …
