Single Degree of Freedom Rigidly Foldable Cut Origami Flashers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present the design for a family of deployable structures based on the origami flasher, which are rigidly foldable, i.e., foldable with revolute joints at the creases and planar rigid faces. By appropriate choice of ...
Conceptualizing Stable States in Origami-Based Devices Using an Energy Visualization Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In many origami-based applications, a device needs to be maintained in one or more fold states. The origami stability integration method (OSIM) presented in this paper provides an approach for graphically combining various ...
Hinges and Curved Lamina Emergent Torsional Joints in Cylindrical Developable Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cylindrical developable mechanisms are devices that conform to and emerge from a cylindrical surface. These mechanisms can be formed or cut from the cylinder wall itself. This paper presents a study on adapting traditional ...
Modeling and Analysis of Inter-Panel Slipping for the Design of Rolled Gossamer Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many deployable satellite systems benefit from having low mass and high surface area, which has led to the proliferation of gossamer structures in space-based applications. Gossamer structures are characterized by lightweight, ...
Thick Rigidly Foldable Origami Mechanisms Based on Synchronized Offset Rolling Contact Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a general technique for achieving kinematic single degree of freedom (1DOF) origami-based mechanisms with thick rigid panels using synchronized offset rolling contact elements (SORCEs). We present general design ...
Evaluating Compliant Hinge Geometries for Origami Inspired Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origamiinspired design is an emerging field capable of producing compact and efficient designs. Compliant hinges are proposed as a way to replicate the folding motion of paper when using nonpaper materials. Compliant hinges ...
A Family of Dual Segment Compliant Joints Suitable for Use as Surrogate Folds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origamiinspired design is an emerging field capable of producing compact and efficient designs. The object of a surrogate fold is to provide a foldlike motion in a nonpaper material without undergoing yielding. Compliant ...
An Approach to Designing Origami Adapted Aerospace Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An approach to designing products based on adapting patterns and behaviors from origami is presented. The approach is illustrated by showing its capability for developing mechanism applications for aerospacebased systems. ...
Membrane-Enhanced Lamina Emergent Torsional Joints for Surrogate Folds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lamina emergent compliant mechanisms (including origami-adapted compliant mechanisms) are mechanical devices that can be fabricated from a planar material (a lamina) and have motion that emerges out of the fabrication ...
Rigidly Foldable Thick Origami Using Designed-Offset Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present new families of thick origami mechanisms that achieve rigid foldability and parallel stacking of panels in the flat-folded state using linkages for some or all of the hinges between panels. A degree-four vertex ...
