چکیده

Thermal management systems for space equipment commonly use static solutions that do not adapt to environmental changes. Dynamic control of radiative surface properties is one way to respond to environmental changes and to increase the capabilities of spacecraft thermal management systems. This paper documents an investigation of the extent to which origamiinspired surfaces may be used to control the apparent absorptivity of a reflective material. Models relating the apparent absorptivity of a radiation shield to time-dependent surface temperatures are presented. Results show that the apparent absorptivity increases with increasing fold density and indicate that origami-inspired designs may be used to control the apparent radiative properties of surfaces in thermal management systems.

Reconfigurable origami-inspired acoustic waveguides

We combine numerical simulations and experiments to design a new class of reconfigurable waveguides based on three-dimensional origami-inspired metamaterials. Our strategy builds on the fact that the rigid plates and hinges forming these structures define networks of tubes that can be easily reconfigured. As such, they provide an ideal platform to actively control and redirect the propagation o...

Geometric Considerations for the Design of Rigid Origami Structures

Transformable polyhedral surfaces with rigid facets, i.e., rigid origami, are useful for designing kinetic and deployable structures. In order to apply rigid origami to various architectural and other engineering design purposes, it is essential to consider the geometry of origami in kinetic motion and provide sufficiently generalized methods to produce controlled variations of shapes that suit...
