Abstract: Rigid origami is seen as a fundamental model in many self-folding machines. A key issue in designing origami is the rigid/nonrigid foldability. The kinematic and foldability of Kresling origami, which is based on an origami ...

Abstract: Novel statically indeterminate structures generally contain both self-stress modes and internal mechanisms, and have few or no load-bearing capacities before being prestressed. These structures could not maintain stable ...

Abstract: Origami-based structures have been widely implemented in the design of deployable systems. They possess desirable properties such as easiness in manufacturing, high transportability, programmability, and the capability to ...
