Beschreibung
Origami structures have the ability to be easily fabricated from planar forms, enable the deployment of large structures from small volumes, and are potentially reconfigurable. These characteristics have led to an increased interest in theoretical and computational origami among engineers from across the world. In this book, the principles of origami, active materials, and solid mechanics are combined to present a full theory for origami structures. The focus is on origami structures morphed via active material actuation and formed from sheets of finite thickness. The detailed theoretical derivations and examples make this an ideal book for engineers and advanced students who aim to use origami principles to develop new applications in their field.
Covers the kinematics, design, and structural mechanics of origami structures
Comprehensively reviews thermally-, chemically-, electrically-, and magnetically-activated self-folding structures
Provides numerous implementation examples with diverse applications, including shape memory alloy-based origami structures
A comprehensive review of state of the art origami with active materials is provided; The kinematics, design, and structural mechanics of origami with conventional creased folds and with active smooth folds are developed in a systematic way via unified notation and formulation; Several implementation examples and problems are provided in each chapter to increase understanding of the developed theories and challenge further thought; Codes for the implementation of all presented theories are provided in the supplemental material.
