Modular building systems (MBS) and Origami are two emerging methods used in current
construction practice. Origami is directly associated with the principles of the ancient …

In this paper, three reconfigurable Mirror-Miura origami (MMO) patterns are designed by the
Miura origami units. The kinematics of three reconfigurable Mirror-Miura origami patterns are …

Existence of folds enhances the load carrying capacity of a folded structure which makes it
suitable to be used for application where large open space is required such as large span …

For structural engineers, origami has proven to be a rich source of inspiration, and it has
found its way into a wide range of structural applications. This paper aims to extend this …

Architected modular origami structures show potential for future robotic matter owing to their
reconfigurability with multiple mobilities. Similar to modular robots, the units of modular …

Rapidly deployable shelters are critical for housing on forward operating bases and for relief
following natural or anthropogenic disasters. In addition to meeting structural performance …

Origami, the art of paper folding, is becoming increasingly recognized as a fruitful area of
inspiration for engineering design and research. The state-of-the-art in origami engineering …

The design of origami structures typically requires the folding/deployment kinematics to be
solved and the internal forces induced by applied loads to be determined. The case of rigid …

A novel and efficient approach to the design of foldable architectural structures based on
rigid Origami is here proposed to obtain lightweight constructions. This kind of structures are …

Origami is an ancient Japanese art that has been circling the globe for centuries. In past, it
was used to create simple objects, however, more recent applications have been …
