Abstract: This paper presents two techniques for modeling the folding patterns of deployable nonaxisymmetric tubes using regular arrangement of the fold lines and three different fundamental folding designs, namely, Miura folding, ...

Abstract: A new approach for obtaining the crease patterns of foldable conical structures from crease patterns of cylindrical structures based on the origami folding theory using conformal mapping is presented in this paper. Mapping ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method for designing the crease patterns of deployable membranes that can be wrapped up compactly. The method utilizes conformal mapping and the origami folding technique. The mapping of the flow ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel vibration isolator based on a foldable cylinder with a torsional buckling pattern, which is also called Kresling's pattern, is proposed, and the performance of the proposed isolator in terms of ...

Abstract: Current vehicle energy absorbers face two problems during a collision in that there is only a 70% collapse in length and there is a high initial peak load. These problems arise because the presently used energy-absorbing ...

Abstract: Sandwich panels, for example, honeycomb structure, are widely used in various stages because they are lightweight and have high stiffness. Recently, an origami structure called truss core panel (TCP) has become known as a ...
