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

It is widely known that the demand for lightweight structures with excellent energy absorption
capacity is paramount in numerous engineering applications. Many publications have …

Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, is not only an inspiring technique to
create sophisticated shapes, but also a surprisingly powerful method to induce nonlinear …

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

This paper presents a new elastic origami-inspired structure with quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS)
characteristics to provide effective low-frequency vibration isolation performance. The …

Origami structures are commonly constructed by folding a two-dimensional sheet according
to a given crease pattern. The existence of abundant crease patterns means that many three …

We investigate the unique mechanical properties of reentrant 3D origami structures based
on the Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP). We explore the potential usage as mechanical …

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

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 …

Thin-walled structures have been widely applied as energy absorption devices due to their
lightweight, high energy dissipating capability through large deformation, and low cost. The …
