Abstract: A method is presented utilizing networks of lamina emergent joints, known as lamina emergent arrays, to accommodate largecurvature developable structures suited to deployable applications. By exploiting the ruling lines ...

Abstract: Lamina emergent torsion (LET) joints for use in origami-based applications enables folding of panels. Placing LET joints in series and parallel (formulating LET arrays) opens the design space to provide for tunable stiffness ...

Abstract: This work introduces a type of motion termed “conceal-and-reveal” which is characterized by a state that protects a payload, a state that exposes the payload, and coupled motions between these two states. As techniques for ...
