Contributor Radaelli, G. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department PME Programme MSD Date 2015-04-10 Abstract Origami mechanisms are fabricated from a simple sheet material, but can exhibit complex motions in 3D. Advantages are a planar fabrication process and the inherent deployability. Almost all current origami mechanisms are being designed on the premise of rigid facets. In this research, flexible facets are used to incorporate spring behavior. A model that describes this spring behavior in a basic origami mechanism is proposed and example designs are presented.
