Abstract: We describe herein a method for extending the load range of a vibration isolator using a foldable cylinder consisting of a torsional buckling pattern and evaluate the vibration isolating performance through excitation ...

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: We present a prototype vibration isolator whose design is inspired by origami-based foldable cylinders with torsional buckling patterns. The vibration isolator works as a nonlinear spring that has quasi-zero spring stiffness ...

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 ...
