Abstract: Thin-walled corrugated tubes that have a bending multistability, such as the bendy straw, allow for variable orientations over the tube length. Compared to the long history of corrugated tubes in practical applications, ...

Abstract: Active origami structures usually have creases made with soft and compliant plates because it is difficult to fabricate real hinges and actuate them. However, most conventional origami modeling techniques fail to capture ...

Abstract: Origami-inspired systems are attractive for creating structures and devices with tunable properties, multiple functionalities, high-ratio packaging capabilities, easy fabrication, and many other advantageous properties. ...

Abstract: Origami has great potential for creating deployable structures, however, most studies have focused on their static or kinematic features, while the complex and yet important dynamic behaviors of the origami deployment ...
