Rigidly foldable origami gadgets and tessellations

چکیده
Rigidly foldable origami allows for motion where all deflection occurs at the crease lines and facilitates the application of origami in materials other than paper. In this paper, we use a recently discovered method for determining rigid foldability to identify existing flat-foldable rigidly foldable tessellations, which are also categorized. We introduce rigidly foldable origami gadgets which may be used to modify existing tessellations or to create new tessellations. Several modified and new rigidly foldable tessellations are presented.

متن کاملRigid-Foldable Thick Origami
In this paper, a method is proposed for geometrically constructing thick panel structures that follow the kinetic behavior of rigid origami by using tapered or two-ply panels and hinges located at their edges. The proposed method can convert generalized pattern of rigid-foldable origami into thick panels structure with kinetic motion, which leads to novel designs of origami for various engineer...
متن کاملDesign of Infinitesimally and Finitely Flexible Origami Based on Reciprocal Figures
This paper investigates novel computational design method for infinitesimally and finitely foldable rigid origami based on solving a first-order folding mode, which can be represented by a reciprocal figure. We derive these graphical conditions from a matrix representation of rigid origami, and extend the conditions to cases when the surface includes holes. We propose an algorithm to obtain for...
متن کاملA Method for Designing Crease Patterns for Flat-Foldable Origami with Numerical Optimization
Origami is the art and science of making various shapes by simply folding a sheet of paper. When origami is studied as a geometrical problem, it is often assumed that the origami is folded flat. This flat foldability is an important property when we consider applying the techniques of origami to increase the portability and storage space of industrial products. We propose a method to generate n...
متن کاملOne-DOF Rigid Foldable Structures from Space Curves
We show a novel design method of one-DOF deployable mechanism based on a space curve, through creating a curved folding and discretizing the folding into rigid origami. By interpreting constant angle curved folding as a flat-foldable quadrilateral mesh origami, we design novel irregular tessellated, cylindrical, and cellular flatly collapsible structures, whose behavior is easily controlled by ...
