Abstract: An origami design method based on topology optimization is introduced. The design of a folding pattern is cast as a problem of assigning presence and type of fold to lines in a “ground structure,â€‌ using folding angles ...

Abstract: Origami folding provides a novel method to transform two-dimensional (2D) sheets into complex functional structures. However, the enormity of the foldable design space necessitates development of algorithms to efficiently ...

Abstract: Reconfigurable structures based on origami design are useful for multifunctional applications, such as deployable shelters, solar array packaging, and tunable antennas. Origami provides a framework to decompose a complex ...

Abstract: Origami structures morph between 2D and 3D conformations along predetermined fold lines that efficiently program the form of the structure and show potential for many engineering applications. However, the enormity of the ...
