Programmable Origami Metamaterials with Adaptive Stiffness
Abstract
The focus of this research program is origami inspired structures and metamaterials which are programmable by selection of geometrical parameters and tuneable by graded stiffness. We have created a large number of novel origami structures that exhibit distinctive mechanical properties, some of which were not achieved previously. Through detailed analysis, a well-understood approach have been established, that enable future development of origami structures that meet the real engineering requirements. We have published a significant number of research articles, some in prestigious peer-reviewed journals. We have also engaged in various academic activities to communicate our finding to scientific communities as well as general public. It is hoped that our work can serve as a catalyst for the uptake of origami structures for engineering applications in material, aeronautics, and aerospace industries.
