Thin sheets assembled into three dimensional folding origami can have various applications
from reconfigurable architectural structures to metamaterials with tunable properties …

Rigid origami, especially rigid flat-foldable origami, is used to design compact structures with
large fold-deploy ratios. However, the intersection between facets caused by material …

This paper provides an approach to model the reaction force of origami mechanisms when
they are deformed. In this approach, an origami structure is taken as an equivalent …

This article analyzes the influence of the initial deflection of the flat layers on the bending
stiffness (BS) of honeycomb paperboards and presents two methods for its calculation. Both …

Folded paper has a long history in origami artwork and is used by engineers to rapidly
prototype designs of adaptive structures and mechanical metamaterials. However …

The large bending behavior of a creased paperboard is studied in the range of rotation
θ∊[0°, 180°]–new results, apparently not reported previously in literature–with the aim to …

Characterisation of the rotational stiffness of fold lines is necessary to analyse the compliant
behaviour of origami-inspired structures, however limited data exists for fold lines …

In this work, tensile tests were first conducted on the paperboard. Then, the in-plane
orthotropic elastoplastic model (IPE-Isotropic Plasticity Equivalent model) was implemented …

In traditional product development, several iterations are usually necessary to obtain a
successful compromise between constraints emanating from engineering, manufacturing …

Abstract The Stereographic Projection machinery is applied to the qualitative and
quantitative description of the folding problem of an origami-like structure: the facets of a …
