Abstract: This paper investigates the geometry of a foldable barrel vault with modified Miuraori patterns, which displays a curvature during the motion. The principal of spherical trigonometry was used to obtain the relationship of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the geometry of a foldable barrel vault with Yoshimura Origami patterns during the motion. On the base of the geometry analysis of the origami unit, the radius, span, rise, and longitudinal length ...

Abstract: Foldable structures, a new kind of space structures developed in recent decades, can be deployed gradually to a working configuration and also can be folded for transportation, thus have potentially broad application ...

Abstract: In recent decades, origami has transitioned from a traditional art form into a systematic field of scientific inquiry, characterized by attributes such as high foldability, lightweight frameworks, diverse deformation modes, ...

Abstract: Bifurcation behavior analysis is the key part of mobility in the application of origami-inspired deployable structures because it opens up more allosteric possibilities but leads to control difficulties. A novel tracking ...

Abstract: The compliant mechanism can effectively reduce friction and eliminate the joint gap during the motion. The performances of compliant joints directly determine the overall behavior of mechanisms. In this paper, a new type ...
