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 …

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 describes rules for creating folded structures from patterns on a flat sheet, but does
not prescribe how patterns can be designed to fit target shapes. Here, starting from the …

In engineering design, origami structures are frequently characterized by their geometry-
shifting behavior, mechanical properties, lightness, and appealing aesthetic qualities. In …

This paper describes two folded metamaterials based on the Miura-ori fold pattern. The
structural mechanics of these metamaterials are dominated by the kinematics of the folding …

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

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