Abstract Lamina Emergent Mechanisms (LEMs) are an important part of compliant
mechanisms, and origami technology can fold simple two-dimensional planes into complex …

Lamina emergent torsion (LET) joints for use in origami-based applications enables folding
of panels. Placing LET joints in series and parallel (formulating LET arrays) opens the …

There has been significant recent interest in origami-inspired foldable structures for
applications in which transportability and rapid construction are primary design drivers, for …

Origami is usually folded from a flat sheet of material. Folding mostly works by introduction of
plastic deformation into that sheet, resulting in a permanently altered region, viz., the crease …

The ability to deploy a planar surface to a desired convex profile with a simple actuation can
enhance foldable or morphing airfoils, deployable antennae and reflectors, and other …

提出了一种新型结构柔性铰链, 命名为平面折展抗拉压倒置扭转铰链(Inverted stripe-type
torsional lamina emergent joint, IST-LEJ), 设计了该铰链的结构形式, 推导了其弯曲等效刚度 …

Plastically annealed lamina emergent mechanisms have been recently introduced as
origami-based structures that can be designed with a tendency to return into arbitrary folding …

Featured Application A novel double-laminated Lamina Emergent Torsional joint (DL-LET)
is described here and shows promise in applications where both high flexibility and high …

A new type of flexure hinge, named inverted stripe-type torsional lamina emergent joint (IST-
LEJ), is proposed. The structural form of the hinge is designed, and its bending equivalent …

Fractures of the patella can be challenging to treat surgically. The current standard of
tension band wiring is susceptible to wire loosening and fracture displacement. In this study …
