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 …

Twists, Tilings, and Tessellation describes the underlying principles and mathematics of the
broad and exciting field of abstract and mathematical origami, most notably the field of …

Around 2005 it became apparent in the geometry processing community that freeform
architecture contains many problems of a geometric nature to be solved, and many …

Miura and Miura-derivative rigid origami patterns are increasingly used for engineering and
architectural applications. However, geometric modelling approaches used in existing …

Rigidly foldable origami allows for motion where all deflection occurs at the crease lines and
facilitates the application of origami in materials other than paper. In this paper, we use a …

Plants exhibit a variety of reversible motions, from the slow opening of pine cones to the
impulsive closing of Venus flytrap leaves. These motions are achieved without muscles and …

We present a prototype vibration isolator whose design is inspired by origami-based
foldable cylinders with torsional buckling patterns. The vibration isolator works as a …

This study investigates a unique asymmetric quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) property from the
pressurized fluidic origami cellular structure, and examines the feasibility and efficiency of …

Folding a flat sheet under a specific crease pattern can form a three-dimensional origami
tube, which has been proven to exhibit unique mechanical properties and has wide …
