Abstract:Self-folding origami has emerged as a tool to make functional objects in material science. The common idea is to pattern a sheet with creases and activate them to have the object fold spontaneously into a desired configuration. This article shows that collinear quadrilateral metasheets are able to fold into the Miura-Ori configuration, if we only impose strain on part of their creases. In this study, we define and determine the optimal pattern of strain (OPS) on a collinear quadrilateral metasheet, that is the… Show more
