Origami of Multi-layered Spaced Sheets
In this paper, Wayne presents a three dimensional structure composed of multiple layers of origami sheets connected strategically to allow for compact folding and reconfiguration. The Continue Reading
Rapidly deployable hulls and on-demand tunable hydrodynamics with shape morphing curved crease origami
In this paper, Hardik presents a novel deployable hull design for watercraft which utilizes curved-crease origami techniques. The primary contributions of the research include:
- The Application
Large-scale modular and uniformly thick origami-inspired adaptable and load-carrying structures
Bar and hinge models for scalable analysis of origami
Bar and hinge models, which approximate the structural characteristics of origami, have been used as early as 2011, but in this paper, Professor Filipov and others Continue Reading
Origami tubes with reconfigurable polygonal cross-sections
In this paper, Prof. Filipov introduces and explores origami tubes with polygonal, translational symmetric cross-sections that can be reconfigured into numerous geometries. The main points of Continue Reading
Origami tubes assembled into stiff, yet reconfigurable structures and metamaterials
In this paper, Prof. Filipov showcases a special “zipper tube” origami design, which can change its shape by expanding and collapsing but is still stiff when Continue Reading
