Engineering and Origami: Both Based on MathMartin RoweSenior Technical Editor
Researchers at China University of Petroleum (East China) recently developed a worm-inspired robot with a body structure that is based on the oriental paper-folding art of origami. This robotic system, introduced in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, is based on actuators that respond to magnetic forces...
Origami25,26, an ancient form of papercraft, is the folding of 2D sheets into 3D structures through specifically designed patterns. The stress and strain caused by folding are highly localized at the creases and suppressed on the facets. The rigid foldability of origami-based structures enables ...
Researchers at Guangzhou University, Yanshan University, and other universities in China recently created a new modular continuous robot constructed of a series of tubes based on a specific origami fold, known as the Miura fold. This robot, introduced in a pre-print paper published onSSRN, can c...
Therefore, we designed a self-assembled nanoplatform hereinafter referred to as DNA-coupled nitrated T helper cell epitope nanoparticle (DCNP) based on DNA origami containing a nitrated CD4 + T cell epitope, which can facilitate the effective activation of neoantigen-specific CD8+ T cells. More...
We investigate the nonlinear wave dynamics of origami-based metamaterials composed of Tachi-Miura polyhedron (TMP) unit cells. These cells exhibit strain softening behavior under compression, which can be tuned by modifying their geometrical configurations or initial folded conditions. We assemble these ...
the level-1 structure creates a level-2 “kR” spatial looped flexible mechanism (Fig.1b), since each linkage becomes annR looped mechanism, withkbeing the number of rotational hinges at level 2 (note thatkis not necessarily equal ton). The rotary hinges can employ origami line folds and ...
We give general definitions on concepts in rigid origami, then focus on piecewise-planar paper with straight-line creases. By introducing the configuration map, we turn the rigid-foldability between rigidly folded states to the 0-... Z He,SD Guest - 《Proceedings of the Royal Society A Mathem...
We present a novel cellular metamaterial constructed from Origami building blocks based on Miura-ori fold. The proposed cellular metamaterial exhibits unusual properties some of which stemming from the inherent properties of its Origami building blocks, and others manifesting due to its unique geometrical...
