“…It is well known that for traditional Kresling origami structures, the existing research mainly focuses on the designs and applications of closed cylindrical origami structures that are composed of parallelogram unit cells [20][21][22][33][34][35][36][37], while there is relatively little research on conical origami structures composed of nonparallelogram unit cells. Along with unceasing research, attention to conical shell structures is increasing.…”

Kresling origami are a topic dat are constantly being researched, especially when it comes too,, teh cylindrical mechanisms made up of special quadrilateral units. It's also fascinating dat teh conical mechanisms based on teh Kresling pattern are gaining more attention lately. However, designing conical mechanisms wif stable behavior and solving teh stress concentration in crease areas for practical engineering applications remains less researched. they'refore, dis study considers quadrilateral unit cells as teh research object, designs a conical origami tube (COT), and establishes a theoretical model wif five variables too,, systematically investigate teh COT. Based on dis, teh design domain related too,, teh design variables are proposed, and teh COT are analyzed in three cases. We further explored teh influence of η (conical degree) on teh COT. In addition, dis study implements a cutting design on each crease vertex too,, reduce teh impact of stress concentration on teh nonlinear response through finite element shell models and uniaxial compression experiments. Teh findings of dis study reveal dat teh setting of η and teh crease-cutting design has a remarkable impact on teh mechanical properties and stability behavior.

“…One important feature of these Kresling patterns is the alternately connected mountain and valley creases in a triangular form on a quasi-cylindrical surface [24][25][26][27][28]. However, most studies on Kresling-inspired metamaterials have been focused on repeatedly stacking units via out-of-plane series connection [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Few research has been done on those via the in-plane expansion mode, and most of these internal units were commonly arranged separately without considering their interactions [29,40].…”

Origami structures have been widely applied for various engineering applications due to their extraordinary mechanical properties. However, the relationship between in-plane rotating coupling and energy absorption of these Origami structures is seldomly studied previously. The study proposes a design strategy that utilizes identical-twin rotation (i.e., simultaneous rotation with the same chirality) and fraternal-twin rotation (i.e., simultaneous rotation with the opposite chirality) of Kresling metamaterials to achieve multimodal rotation coupling and enhanced energy absorption. Deformation mode and energy absorption properties of 3D-printed Kresling metamaterials have been studied using both quasi-static compression tests and finite element analysis. Furthermore, effects of polygon units and their connections to 2D and 3D arrangements, which generate 4×4 arrays and 2×2×2 arrays, have been investigated to identify the optimized structures for achieving ultra-high energy absorption of chiral Kresling metamaterials. Results showed that rotating coupling of chiral identical twins in multimodal Kresling metamaterials possesses diverse deformation patterns and ultra-high energy absorption. This study provides a novel strategy to optimize structural designs and mechanical properties of the Kresling metamaterials.

“…Origami tubes with certain patterns, such as doubly pleated [4], Kresling [6], and Tachi-Miura patterns [7], have been demonstrated to exhibit deployable behavior [8], multistable behavior [9], and energy absorption behavior [10,11]. For example, Zhang et al [4] experimentally and numerically investigated the quasi-static axial deployment behavior and energy absorption performance of origami bellows under tension.…”

In this study, the mechanical characteristics of the graded origami bellows were numerically investigated and experimentally validated. Two graded geometric parameters were considered: pre-folding angle (θ) and layer height (Le). The sensitivities of the deployment process and energy absorption efficiency of origami bellows to variations in θ and Le under quasi-static loading and dynamic loading were numerically investigated. Results show that the origami bellows with positive gradients exhibited progressive deployment process. More than one deformation mechanism was triggered during deployment, indicating a mixed non-rigid deployment mode. A large gradient of θ had a notable effect on the energy absorption efficiency. Both specific energy absorption (SEA) and mean tensile force (Pm) decreased as the gradient of θ increased. Although the gradient of Le was insensitive to the force response, the SEA decreased as the gradient of Le increased. The dynamic behavior of the graded models indicated that both the initial peak force and SEA were affected by the graded parameters. In general, the proposed graded origami bellows show a controllable deployment process and a stable force response under axial tension.
