Origami traces its origins to an ancient art form transforming flat thin surfaces into various
complex, fabulous 3D objects. Nowadays, such transformation transcends art by offering a …

In recent decades, origami has been explored to aid in the design of engineering structures.
These structures span multiple scales and have been demonstrated to be used toward …

Thick-panel origami has shown great potential in engineering applications. However, the
thick-panel origami created by current design methods cannot be readily adopted to …

Vibration and sound control is critical to many practical engineering systems in order to
minimise the detrimental effects caused by unavoidable vibrations and noises …

Shape-morphing capabilities are crucial for enabling multifunctionality in both biological and
artificial systems. Various strategies for shape morphing have been proposed for …

Transforming flat sheets into three-dimensional structures has emerged as an exciting
manufacturing paradigm on a broad range of length scales. Among other advantages, this …

Thin sheets have long been known to experience an increase in stiffness when they are
bent, buckled, or assembled into smaller interlocking structures. We introduce a unique …

Origami-inspired systems are attractive for creating structures and devices with tunable
properties, multiple functionalities, high-ratio packaging capabilities, easy fabrication, and …

The purpose of this work is to develop approaches to accommodate thickness in origami-
based deployable arrays with a high ratio of deployed-to-stowed diameter. The origami …

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 …
