Origami has emerged as a powerful mechanism for designing functional foldable and
deployable structures. Among various origami patterns, a large class of origami exhibits …

Origami structures with morphing behaviours and unique mechanical properties are useful
in aerospace deployable structures, soft robots and mechanical metamaterials. Curved …

Vibration monitoring and buffering is an important technical task in many industrial fields,
such as bridges, machine tools and other specific applications. Recently, a magneto …

Perforating crease lines has been widely adopted as a practical method for designing thick
engineering origami structures. Perforations inevitably reduce crease stiffness and thus …

Introducing origami with outstanding flexibility into thin-walled tubes can enhance their
energy absorption performance. This paper first proposes a cutting and folding-based …

Reconfigurable metamaterial absorbers (MAs), consisting of tunable elements or
deformable structures, are able to transform their absorbing bandwidth and amplitude in …

Thin-walled tubes with origami patterns exhibit good energy absorption capacity under axial
tension. In this study, the tensile behavior of thin-walled tubes with pleated patterns, known …

This study unveils a groundbreaking development: the chain lattice structure (CLS), a
unique lattice with the capability to actively adjust its size and shape for filling diverse thin …

In this paper, three reconfigurable Mirror-Miura origami (MMO) patterns are designed by the
Miura origami units. The kinematics of three reconfigurable Mirror-Miura origami patterns are …

In this work, a shape-memory thin-walled circular structure was proposed. The structure was
processed based on the 3D printing technique of fused deposition modeling. The shape …
