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 …

In the past decade, mechanical metamaterials have garnered increasing attention owing to
its novel design principles which combine the concept of hierarchical architecture with …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Auxetic materials become thicker rather than thinner when stretched, exhibiting an unusual
negative Poisson's ratio well suited for designing shape transforming metamaterials. Current …

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 …

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 …
