The origami hyperbolic paraboloid, or the hypar, is widely known for its characteristic non-
zero Gaussian curvature and multi-stable states. Previous investigations have mainly …

Recently developed hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials/structures are very attractive for
applications in the fields of soft robots, biomedical devices and stretchable electronics, etc …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs), classified as smart materials, have emerged as promising
candidates for microfluidic devices due to their significant potential. In this study, we present …

Origami design concepts are finding pervasive utility in engineering applications due to their
ability to map complex shape transformations into a series of folding actions. The interplay …

In recent decades, origami has transitioned from a traditional art form into a systematic field
of scientific inquiry, characterized by attributes such as high foldability, lightweight …

We discuss the dynamics of a relatively simple origami-inspired structure considering
discrete and continuum models. The latter was derived as a certain limit of the discrete …

The concept of a novel origami energy dissipation brace (OEDB) was proposed in this paper
based on the folding pattern of Miura and Tachi unit cell. Creases introduced can induce …

Both one-way and two-way shape memory effects induced by crystallization and melting
transitions have been recently demonstrated in several semi-crystalline polymers. The paper …

This pioneering study focuses on the finite element analysis (FEA) of thermomechanical
properties of shape memory polymer (SMP) wire ropes and their components under both …

A structural model is provided for the analysis of mechanical responses of folded
quadrilateral plates which constitute the building blocks of most Origami/Kirigami inspired …
