Abstract: The folding behavior of a prismatic mast based on Kresling origami pattern is studied in this paper. The mast consists of identical triangles with cyclic symmetry. Bar stresses and necessary external nodal loads of the ...

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: The deployment of a cylinder based on origami with Kresling pattern, whose basic mechanisms are formed by the buckling of a thin cylindrical shell under torsional loading, is studied in this paper. The model consists of ...
