Conventional curved crease origami exhibits only Euclidean metrics at the crease, where
the surfaces on either side should consistently display convexity on one side and concavity …

The increasing scarcity of orbit resources has directed the focus onto the versatility of space
antennas. Through shape reconfiguration, large antennas can achieve enhanced task …

The incorporation of lockable passive backbones into active compliant morphing systems
efficiently results in lightweight, high-load, and large deformation systems. However, there …

This paper applies an energy method based on the high-order smooth curvature model to
