Abstract:Deployable structures based on origami are widely used in the application of actuators. In this paper, we present a novel family of origami-based deployable structures with constant curvature. Two categories of non-flat-foldable and non-developable degree-4 vertices (NFND degree-4 vertices) are introduced. Pyramid structures are constructed based on the NFND degree-4 vertices. Doubly symmetric and singly symmetric spherical origami tubular cells (SOTCs) are established based on pyramid structures. To construct… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
