Once merely ancient arts, origami (ie, paper folding) and kirigami (ie, paper cutting) have in
recent years also become popular for building mechanical metamaterials and now provide …

Origami is inspiring several fields of knowledge such as engineering, aerospace systems,
medicine, and biomechanics, motivating the creation of novel adaptive and morphing …

From stadium covers to solar sails, we rely on deployability for the design of large-scale
structures that can quickly compress to a fraction of their size,,–. Historically, two main …

Inflatable structures have become essential components in the design of soft robots and
deployable systems as they enable dramatic shape change from a single pressure inlet …

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

折纸结构和折纸超材料由于其无穷的设计空间, 突出的变形状, 变大小, 变拓扑特性,
以及由折叠诱发的超常规力学特性, 在最近几年迅速成为数学, 物理和工程学科的研究前沿和 …

This study examines a biology-inspired approach of using reconfigurable articulation to
reduce the control requirement for soft robotic arms. We construct a robotic arm by …

Traditional origami design is generally based on designers' artistic intuition and skills,
mathematical calculations, and experimentations, which can involve challenges for crease …

Origami is emerging as a promising paradigm for deployable structures. The theoretical
analysis on the relationship between geometry of the crease patterns and the induced …

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 …
