Structure, design, and mechanics of a paper spring

Universal scaling law of an origami paper spring

“…In conclusion, this Letter has solved an open question raised by Yoneda et al [1], and an universal scaling laws of origami paper spring has been formulated. Even beyond the scope of Yoneda et al's work [1], we have successfully generalized the scaling law from the Poisson's ratio 0.3 to an arbitrary Poisson's ratio with the help of dimensional analysis.…”

“…

This letter solves an open question of origami paper spring raised by Yoneda et al(2019). By using both dimensional analysis and data fitting, an universal scaling law of a paper spring is formulated.

“…Continue this process (the lower strip always folds over the top one), until the last fold at which the entire lengths of the strips are folded up into a small square. The process is completed by gluing the last flap [1].…”

Universal Scaling Laws of Origami Paper Springs

“…The mechanics of elastic origami structures has become a popular topic in the field of physics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In contrast to the classic rigid origami, the complete understanding of the geometric mechanics of the elastic origami is still a challenge subject.…”

“…Noticed all data and analysis in Yoneda et al [1] were done for the material with Poisson's ratio ν = 0.3, the question is that how to extend the above scaling laws to other materials with different Poisson's ratio.…”
