“…Folding techniques have been used to formulate a systematical approach to carton folding [16]. Most of these origami constructions used in mechanism analysis are prismatic, where the straight creases can be modeled as revolute joints and the panels as links as is the case in the development of a systematic approach to modeling carton folding [16].…”

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Available online xxxxThis work describes a deployable compliant rolling-contact element joint (D-CORE joint) that employs curved-folding origami techniques to enable transition from a flat to deployed state. These deployable joints can be manufactured from a single sheet of material. Two fundamental configurations of the D-CORE are presented. The first configuration allows for motion similar to that of a Jacob's ladder when the joint is in a planar state while achieving the motion of a CORE when in the deployed state. The second configuration constrains all degrees of freedom to create a static structure when the joint is in the planar state and allows for the motion of a CORE in the deployed state. Curved-folding origami techniques can be used with both configurations to control the cam radius and range of motion of the D-CORE. Physical models are demonstrated in Tyvek®, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and metallic glass. A deployable translating platform constructed of an inversion of the D-CORE is also shown.

“…The deploying process of three different kinds of folding mechanisms was analyzed, and the software for simulating the deploying movement was developed. Qiu et al [34] addressed the folding behavior of origamiderived mechanisms by considering the geometric design and material property, and they developed mathematical models to predict the folding moment and folding stiffness of origami cartons. Lu et al [35,36] constructed a kirigamiderived deployable network by linking type III Bricard linkages, which can be reconfigured in multiple ways.…”

Reconfigurable mechanisms can deliberately reconfigure themselves by rearranging the connectivity of components to meet the different requirements of tasks. Metamorphic and origami-derived mechanisms are two kinds of typical reconfigurable mechanisms, which have attracted increasing attention in the field of mechanisms since they were proposed. Improving the independent design level, innovation, and international competitive powers of reconfigurable mechanical products is important. Summarizing related significant innovation research and application achievements periodically will shed light on research directions and promote academic exchanges. This paper presents an overview of recent developments in innovation design of reconfigurable mechanisms in China, including metamorphic and origami mechanisms and their typical applications. The future development trends are analyzed and forecasted.

“…Kinematic models are used to determine the motion of a design, or how it folds and unfolds. Closed-form solutions are available using spherical mechanism kinematics [20,21] or screw theory [22]. Simulation-based approaches that utilize optimization are also available [23,24].…”

A concept recently proposed by the authors is that of a multifield sheet that folds into several distinct shapes based on the applied field, be it magnetic, electric, or thermal. In this paper, the design, fabrication, and modeling of a multifield bifold are presented, which utilize magneto-active elastomer (MAE) to fold along one axis and an electro-active polymer, P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) terpolymer, to fold along the other axis. In prior work, a dynamic model of self-folding origami was developed, which approximated origami creases as revolute joints with torsional spring–dampers and simulated the effect of magneto-active materials on origami-inspired designs. In this work, the crease stiffness and MAE models are discussed in further detail, and the dynamic model is extended to include the effect of electro-active polymers (EAP). The accuracy of this approximation is validated using experimental data from a terpolymer-actuated origami design. After adjusting crease stiffness within the dynamic model, it shows good correlation with experimental data, indicating that the developed EAP approximation is accurate. With the capabilities of the dynamic model improved by the EAP approximation method, the multifield bifold can be fully modeled. The developed model is compared to the experimental data obtained from a fabricated multifield bifold and is found to accurately predict the experimental fold angles. This validation of the crease stiffness, MAE, and EAP models allows for more complicated multifield applications to be designed with confidence in their simulated performance.
