Abstract:

Origami structures have been widely used in various engineering fields due to their desirable properties such as geometric transformability and high specific energy absorption. Based on the Kresling origami pattern, this study proposes a type of thin-walled origami tube the structural configuration of which is found by a mixed-integer linear programming model. Using finite element analysis, a reasonable configuration of a thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern is firstly analyzed. Then, the influences of different material properties, the rotation angle of the upper and lower sections of the tube unit, and cross-sectional shapes on the energy absorption behavior of the thin-walled tubes under axial compression are evaluated. The results show that the symmetric thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern is a reasonable choice for energy absorption purposes. Compared with thin-walled prismatic tubes, the thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern substantially reduces the initial peak force and the average crushing force, without significantly reducing its energy absorption capacity; moreover, it enters the plastic energy dissipation stage ahead of time, giving it a superior energy absorption performance. Besides, the material properties, rotation angle, and cross-sectional shape have considerable influences on its energy absorption performance. The results provide a basis for the application of the Kresling origami pattern in the design of thin-walled energy-absorbingstructures.

Abstract:

This paper examines Kresling origami mechanics from both kinematic and energy landscape perspectives. Kinematically, the Kresling cell couples axial displacement (contraction/expansion) with twist, resulting in non-rigid behavior. From an energy standpoint, the chosen geometry, fabrication process, and material allow for single or multiple stable states. The paper presents a comprehensive model integrating geometrical parameters into an energy function to capture the cell's mechanical behavior. Experimentally, two fixtures are developed to independently control axial displacement and twist, without restricting the chiral arrangement of the cells in the origami array. The study demonstrates multiple mechanical and morphological configurations within the same Kresling array, depending on the applied loading mode (compression or twist). This work has applications in soft robotics and mechanical computing.

Abstract:

Cylindrical Kresling origami structures are often used in engineering fields due to their axial stretchability, tunable stiffness, and bistability, while their radial closability is rarely mentioned to date. This feature enables a valvelike function, which inspired this study to develop a new origami-based valve. With the unique one-piece structure of origami, the valve requires fewer parts, which can improve its tightness and reduce the cleaning process. These advantages meet the requirements of sanitary valves used in industries such as the pharmaceutical industry. This paper summarizes the geometric definition of the Kresling pattern as developed in previous studies and reveals the similarity of its twisting motion to the widely utilized iris valves. Through this analogy, the Kresling structure’s closability and geometric conditions are characterized. To facilitate the operation of the valve, we optimize the existing structure and create a new crease pattern, RC-ori. This novel design enables an entirely closed state without twisting. In addition, a simplified modeling method is proposed in this paper for the non-rigid foldable cylindrical origami. The relationship between the open area and the unfolded length of the RC-ori structure is explored based on the modeling method with a comparison with nonlinear FEA simulations. Not only limited to valves, the new crease pattern could also be applied to microreactors, drug carriers, samplers, and foldable furniture.

Abstract:

Deployability, multifunctionality, and tunability are features that can be explored in the design space of origami engineering solutions. These features arise from the shape-changing capabilities of origami assemblies, which require effective actuation for full functionality. Current actuation strategies rely on either slow or tethered or bulky actuators (or a combination). To broaden applications of origami designs, we introduce an origami system with magnetic control. We couple the geometrical and mechanical properties of the bistable Kresling pattern with a magnetically responsive material to achieve untethered and local/distributed actuation with controllable speed, which can be as fast as a tenth of a second with instantaneous shape locking. We show how this strategy facilitates multimodal actuation of the multicell assemblies, in which any unit cell can be independently folded and deployed, allowing for on-the-fly programmability. In addition, we demonstrate how the Kresling assembly can serve as a basis for tunable physical properties and for digital computing. The magnetic origami systems are applicable to origami-inspired robots, morphing structures and devices, metamaterials, and multifunctional devices with multiphysics responses.

Abstract:

The development of a soft crawling robot (SCR) capable of quick folding and recovery has important application value in the field of biomimetic engineering. This article proposes an origami-inspired vacuum-actuated foldable soft crawling robot (OVFSCR), which is composed of entirely soft foldable mirrored origami actuators with a Kresling crease pattern, and possesses capabilities of realizing multimodal locomotion incorporating crawling, climbing, and turning movements. The OVFSCR is characterized by producing periodically foldable and restorable body deformation, and its asymmetric structural design of low front and high rear hexahedral feet creates a friction difference between the two feet and contact surface to enable unidirectional movement. Combining an actuation control sequence with an asymmetrical structural design, the body deformation and feet in contact with ground can be coordinated to realize quick continuous forward crawling locomotion. Furthermore, an efficient dynamic model is developed to characterize the OVFSCR’s motion capability. The robot demonstrates multifunctional characteristics, including crawling on a flat surface at an average speed of 11.9 mm/s, climbing a slope of 3°, carrying a certain payload, navigating inside straight and curved round tubes, removing obstacles, and traversing different media. It is revealed that the OVFSCR can imitate contractile deformation and crawling mode exhibited by soft biological worms. Our study contributes to paving avenues for practical applications in adaptive navigation, exploration, and inspection of soft robots in some uncharted territory.

Abstract:

Inspired by the embodied intelligence observed in octopus arms, we introduce magnetically controlled origami robotic arms based on Kresling patterns for multimodal deformations, including stretching, folding, omnidirectional bending, and twisting. The highly integrated motion of the robotic arms is attributed to inherent features of the reconfigurable Kresling unit, whose controllable bistable deploying/folding and omnidirectional bending are achieved through precise magnetic actuation. We investigate single- and multiple-unit robotic systems, the latter exhibiting higher biomimetic resemblance to octopus’ arms. We start from the single Kresling unit to delineate the working mechanism of the magnetic actuation for deploying/folding and bending. The two-unit Kresling assembly demonstrates the basic integrated motion that combines omnidirectional bending with deploying. The four-unit Kresling assembly constitutes a robotic arm with a larger omnidirectional bending angle and stretchability. With the foundation of the basic integrated motion, scalability of Kresling assemblies is demonstrated through distributed magnetic actuation of double-digit number of units, which enables robotic arms with sophisticated motions, such as continuous stretching and contracting, reconfigurable bending, and multiaxis twisting. Such complex motions allow for functions mimicking octopus arms that grasp and manipulate objects. The Kresling robotic arm with noncontact actuation provides a distinctive mechanism for applications that require synergistic robotic motions for navigation, sensing, and interaction with objects in environments with limited or constrained access. Based on small-scale Kresling robotic arms, miniaturized medical devices, such as tubes and catheters, can be developed in conjunction with endoscopy, intubation, and catheterization procedures using functionalities of object manipulation and motion under remote control.

Abstract:

Origami is increasingly used as a source of inspiration in a wide variety of disciplines. In this project, we explore cylindrical origami structures, referred to as “origami bellows”, as novel geometries for orbital space habitats. The dimensions of space habitats are limited by the tight mass and volume constraints imposed by launcher payload fairings. Future deployable habitats based on foldable origami bellows have the potential to achieve large volumes when deployed, while being capable of compacting to smaller stowed configurations for launch. To assess the feasibility of such habitat designs, the deployment performance of a selection of bellows was investigated. Bellows formed from Kresling and Miura-ori patterns were considered; both expand axially, but Miura-ori patterns experience an additional radial expansion. Our scope was also limited to patterns which are stable in both the stowed and deployed configurations. Habitats were judged on their internal and effective volume expansions; the latter being adjusted to account for the practicalities of operating within a complex habitat geometry. We find that significant internal and effective volume expansions are achievable, particularly for Miura-ori geometries. Nonetheless, we make the argument for Kresling patterns as a more practical option due to their simpler geometries, despite smaller volume expansions. We find our Kresling geometries to have effective volumes between 2.5 - 3.6 times greater than a conventional habitat launched in a fairing of equal volume. Our work shows that origami-based designs do indeed have potential to greatly outperform current space habitat designs. Keywords: Origami Bellows, Space Habitats, Deployable Structures

Abstract:

Paper-based interactive RF devices have opened new possibilities for wireless sensing, yet they are typically constrained by short operational ranges. This paper introduces RadioGami, a method for creating long-range, batteryless RF sensing surfaces on paper using low-cost, DIY materials like copper tape, paper, and off-the-shelf electronics paired with an affordable radio receiver (approx. $20). We explore the design space enabled by RadioGami, including sensing paper deformations like bending, tearing, and origami patterns (Miura, Kresling) at ranges up to 45.73 meters. RadioGami employs a novel ultra-low power (35μW) switching circuit with a tunnel diode for wireless functionality. These surfaces can sustainably operate by harvesting energy using tiny photodiodes. We demonstrate applications that monitor object status, track user interactions (rotation, sliding), and detect environmental changes. We characterize performance, sensitivity, range, and power consumption with deployment studies. RadioGami advances sustainable, tangible, and batteryless interfaces for embodied interaction.

Abstract:

Kresling origami has recently been widely used to design mechanical metamaterials, soft robots and smart devices, benefiting from its bistability and compression-twist coupling deformation. However, previous studies mostly focus on the traditional parallelogram Kresling patterns which can only be folded to cylindrical configurations. In this paper, we generalize the Kresling patterns by introducing free-form quadrilateral unit cells, leading to diverse conical folded configurations. The conical Kresling origami is modelled with a truss system, by which the stable states and energy landscapes are derived analytically. We find that the generalization preserves the bistable nature of parallelogram Kresling patterns, while enabling an enlarged design space of geometric parameters for structural and mechanical applications. To demonstrate this, we develop inverse design frameworks to employ conical Kresling origami to approximate arbitrary target surfaces of revolution and achieve prescribed energy landscapes. Various numerical examples obtained from our framework are presented, which agree well with the paper models and the finite-element simulations. We envision that the proposed conical Kresling pattern and inverse design framework can provide a new perspective for applications in deployable structures, shape-morphing devices, multi-modal robots and multistable metamaterials.

Abstract:

Abstract Kresling pattern origami-inspired structural design has been widely investigated using its bistable property and the single coupling degree of freedom (DOF). In order to obtain new properties or new origami-inspired structures, it needs to innovate the crease lines in the flat sheet of Kresling pattern origami. Here, we present a derivative of Kresling pattern origami — multi-triangles cylindrical origami (MTCO) with tristable property. The truss model is modified based on the switchable active crease lines during the folding motion of the MTCO. Using the energy landscape obtained from the modified truss model, the tristable property is validated and extended to Kresling pattern origami. Simultaneously, the high stiffness property of the third stable state and some special stable states are discussed. In addition, MTCO-inspired metamaterials with deployable property and tunable stiffness, and MTCO-inspired robotic arms with wide movement ranges and rich motion forms are created. These works promote research on Kresling pattern origami, and the design ideas of the metamaterials and robotic arms play a positive role in improving the stiffness of deployable structures and conceiving motion robots.

Abstract:

Applying tessellated origami patterns to the design of mechanical materials can enhance properties such as strength-to-weight ratio and impact absorption ability. Another advantage is the predictability of the deformation mechanics since origami materials typically deform through the folding and unfolding of their creases. This work focuses on creating 4D printed flexible tubular origami based on three different origami patterns: the accordion, the Kresling and the Yoshimura origami patterns, fabricated with a flexible polylactic acid (PLA) filament with heat-activated shape memory effect. The shape memory characteristics of the self-unfolding structures were then harnessed at 60°C, 75°C and 90°C. Due to differences in the folding patterns of each origami design, significant differences in behaviour were observed during shape programming and actuation. Among the three patterns, the accordion proved to be the most effective for actuation as the overall structure can be compressed following the folding crease lines. In comparison, the Kresling pattern exhibited cracking at crease locations during deformation, while the Yoshimura pattern buckled and did not fold as expected at the crease lines. To demonstrate a potential application, an accordion-patterned origami 4D printed tube for use in hand rehabilitation devices was designed and tested as a proof-of-concept prototype incorporating self-unfolding origami.

Abstract:

Abstract This work investigates the technical requirement for the actuation of the bi-directional rotational motion (BRM) of engineering-material-based non-rigid origami robots. While the vast majority of previously published results have focused on paper-based origami structures driven by translation-motion, polypropylene (PP) is implemented in this research to investigate its ability to respond to engineering requirements according to BRM. Following this objective, three experiments are proposed to identify the technical performances of PP-based origami and kirigami robots based on Kresling pattern. First, the stabilization test shows that two hundred full folding cycles are required to reach a repeatable mechanical response. Second, the BRM test characterizes the various mechanical performances of both origami and kirigami structure: the polypropylene(PP)-based origami outperforms existing structures in the literature. Third, the actuation test shows that the actuation mechanical requirements can be described using three key parameters: the required torque for folding, the shape-blocking stiffness, and the bistable portion. Finally, in order to support the development of PP-based origami/kirigami robots, a `Bar and Hinge' reduced-order model is implemented for the description of the nonlinear hysteretic behavior and bistability. This method constitutes a useful tool for the design of highly nonlinear/bistable engineering structures based on PP origami and kirigami.

Abstract:

Rigid origami is seen as a fundamental model in many self-folding machines. A key issue in designing origami is the rigid/nonrigid foldability. The kinematic and foldability of Kresling origami, which is based on an origami pattern of the vertex with six creases, are studied in this paper. The movement of the single-vertex is first discussed. Based on the quaternion method, the loop-closure equation of the vertex with six creases is obtained. Then, the multitransformable behavior of the single vertex is investigated. Furthermore, the rigid foldability of origami patterns with multivertex is investigated with an improved dual quaternion method, which is based on studying the folding angle and the coordinates of all vertices. It can be found that the Kresling cylinder is not rigidly foldable.

Abstract:

Abstract Origami inspired deployable structures have received significant attention due to their exceptional kinematic and mechanical characteristics. Specifically, the cylindrical Kresling origami pattern has been extensively investigated for its multi-stable properties in past studies. This study presents the design and analysis of a novel non-prismatic foldable/ deployable truss module inspired from the conical Kresling origami pattern. The intrinsic relationship between the kinematics and mechanics of non-prismatic foldable truss (NPFT) modules is investigated. First, the geometric design and the analytical modeling of the motion behavior of NPFT modules are presented, followed by the development of design maps considering a range of design parameters to demarcate the domains of qualitatively different deployment behavior. The numerical simulations were performed to validate the findings of analytical investigations. Later, the comparative analysis is presented to highlight the advancements of the proposed NPFT modules over conical Kresling truss structures. The programmability of the deployment characteristics of NPFT modules is investigated considering different design parameters and the influence of scaling. The outcomes demonstrate that the proposed design of NPFT modules offers enhanced deployable and tunable properties along with ease of manufacturing for reconfigurable truss structures.

Abstract:

Abstract The design of effective and compact energy absorption systems is key to the survivability and durability of many man-made structures and machines. To this end, this work presents the design, assessment, and implementation of a novel origami-inspired energy absorber that is based on the Kresling origami pattern. The absorber consists of a Kresling origami column positioned between the loading point and an energy dissipation module. By exploiting its unique inherent translation-to-rotation coupling feature, the primary function of the Kresling column is to transmit uniaxial incident loads (shock or impact) into localized rotational energy that can then be dissipated in a viscous fluid chamber. The proposed system has several unique advantages over traditional designs including the ability to i) dissipate energy associated with both torsional and uniaxial loads, ii) control the rotational velocity profile to maximize energy dissipation, and iii) customize the restoring-force behavior of the Kresling column to different applications. Furthermore, the proposed design is more compact since it can realize the same stroke distance of the traditional translational design while being considerably shorter. Through extensive computational modeling, parametric studies, and experimental testing, it is demonstrated that the proposed design can be optimized to absorb all the imparted energy; and out of the absorbed energy, around 40% can be dissipated in the viscous fluid, while the rest is either dissipated by the viscoelasticity of the origami column or stored in it as potential energy.

Abstract:

AbstractOrigami bellows are formed by folding flat sheets into closed cylindrical structures along predefined creases. As the bellows unfold, the volume of the origami structure will change significantly, offering potential for use as inflatable deployable structures. This paper presents a geometric study of the volume of multi-stable Miura-ori and Kresling bellows, focusing on their application as deployable space habitats. Such habitats would be compactly stowed during launch, before expanding once in orbit. The internal volume ratio between different deployed states is investigated across the geometric design space. As a case study, the SpaceX Falcon 9 payload fairing is chosen for the transportation of space habitats. The stowed volume and effective deployed volume of the origami space habitats are calculated to enable comparison with conventional habitat designs. Optimal designs for the deployment of Miura-ori and Kresling patterned tubular space habitats are obtained using particle swarm optimisation (PSO) techniques. Configurations with significant volume expansion can be found in both patterns, with the Miura-ori patterns achieving higher volume expansion due to their additional radial deployment. A multi-objective PSO (MOPSO) is adopted to identify trade-offs between volumetric deployment and radial expansion ratios for the Miura-ori pattern.

Abstract:

The deployment of a cylinder based on origami with Kresling pattern, whose basic mechanisms are formed by the buckling of a thin cylindrical shell under torsional loading, is studied in this paper. The model consists of identical triangular panels with cyclic symmetry and has a small displacement internal inextensional mechanism. First, geometric formulation of the design problem is presented. Then, assuming that the deployment and folding process is uniform, the bistable behavior of the cylinder is discussed. It can be found that, during the deployment, the dimensionless strain energy increases first and then reduces to zero but followed by another sharp increase. Moreover, the limit condition of geometry parameters for the bistable phenomenon is also discussed. Finally, the bistable behavior is also studied by using numerical simulations for simple and more complex case of the cylinder with multistory. The numerical results agree well with the analytical predictions. Therefore, comparisons with finite element predictions have shown that the analytical solutions given in this paper are accurate and have validated the assumptions made in the derivations.

Abstract:

The folding behavior of a prismatic mast based on Kresling origami pattern is studied in this paper. The mast consists of identical triangles with cyclic symmetry. Bar stresses and necessary external nodal loads of the mast during the motion are studied analytically. The results show that the mechanical behaviors are different when the initial height of the mast is different. Then the numerical analysis is used to prove the accuracy of the analytical results. The influence of the geometry and the number of sides of the polygon on the folding behavior of the basic segment is also investigated. The folding process of the mast with multistories was discussed. The effect of the imperfection based on the eigenvalue buckling modes on the folding behavior is also studied. It can be found that when the number of sides of the polygon is small, the imperfection in the axial direction affects the energy seriously by changing the folding sequence of the mast. When the number of sides of the polygon is larger, the imperfection in the horizontal plane has significant effect on the folding pattern, which leads to the sudden change of energy curve.

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, the use of the Kresling tower origami as a building block for compliant mechanism design is considered. To help building systems using this origami, models are derived to link the origami pattern geometry to the Kresling tower characteristics. This includes the position of stable configurations, the helical trajectory describing the motion and the orientation of panels during the tower deployment. The provided analytical expressions are helpful to adjust the tower geometry according to desired specification. In addition, an original modification of fold geometry is introduced to modify the tower stiffness. Material removal at specific locations, where maximum fold deformations occur, aims at reducing the actuation force without affecting the kinematics. Experimental evaluation is conducted to assess the relevance of the proposed models and evaluate the impact of fold line modification. The proposed simplified models are precise enough for the synthesis. The capacity to strongly reduce the actuation force, due to the fold line modification, is observed.

Abstract:

AbstractSoft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) hold great promise for simple and effective actuation of soft robots. Multi‐degree‐of‐freedom SPAs are highly desired as they enable diverse motion forms and improve possibility for soft robots to navigate challenging environments and perform complex tasks. Herein, this study proposes two novel origami‐based SPAs (O‐SPAs), namely the Flasher origami‐inspired SPA (FO‐SPA) and the Kresling origami‐inspired SPA (KO‐SPA), which are fabricated entirely from soft silicone without any rigid supports. A finite element model is developed to predict the deformation behavior of O‐SPAs and the deformability and dynamic response of O‐SPAs are characterized through performance tests. Simulation experiments are carried out to investigate the impact of different structural parameters on their performance. These O‐SPAs are highly sensitive to low negative pressure, exhibiting 80% of maximum deformation at −4 kPa. Based on the Flasher and Kresling origami pattern, the actuators are capable of generating compound motions including contraction, twisting, and radial motions. These motions can be used as “building blocks” for the rapid reconfiguration of various soft robots. The study has successfully enriched the types of existing SPAs by providing important multiple motions through origami, with great potential to facilitate the rapid and low‐cost design of soft robots.

Abstract:

Abstract A vacuum-driven inclined hexagonal prism soft-rigid hybrid contraction actuator inspired by Kresling origami pattern and with low driving pressure, high contraction ratio, and fast response was proposed. The advantages of soft-rigid hybrid vacuum contraction actuators over conventional positive-type oscillators were investigated. Under 30 kPa vacuum pressure, the actuator can realize a torsional angle of 87°, contraction ratio of 59%, contracting response time of 0.2 s, and restoring response time of 0.42 s. The design and fabrication of the proposed actuator were discussed. A mathematical model treating all creases as a combination of linear and torsion springs, which is firstly considered compared with previously proposed models of Kresling origami-based actuators, was established to predict the output performance. The excellent output force prediction performance of the proposed method was validated experimentally. To investigate the application potential of the proposed modular actuator, six actuators were assembled on a pipe-crawling robot that can crawl in horizontal, vertical, elbow rigid pipes as well as flexible pipes with inner diameters ranging from 55 to 71 mm. The robot achieved a maximum crawling velocity of 34.8 mm/s (0.226 body lengths per second) and maximum load of 1000 g (12.5 times its own weight) in tests. Thus, the excellent application potential of the proposed actuator was validated.

Abstract:

AbstractThick origami structures are considered here as assemblies of polygonal panels hinged to each other along their edges according to a corresponding origami crease pattern. The determination of the internal actions in equilibrium with the external loads in such structures is not an easy task, owing to their high degree of static indeterminacy, and the likelihood of unwanted self-balanced internal actions induced by manufacturing imperfections. Here, we present a method for reducing the degree of static indeterminacy which can be applied to several thick origami structures to make them isostatic. The method utilizes sliding hinges, which allow relative translation along the hinge axis, to replace conventional hinges. After giving the analytical description of both types of hinges and describing a rigid folding simulation procedure based on the integration of the exponential map, we present the static analysis of a series of noteworthy examples based on the Miura-ori pattern, the Yoshimura pattern, and the Kresling pattern. Our method, based on kinematic-static duality, provides a novel design paradigm that can be applied for the design and realization of thick origami structures with adequate strength to resist external actions.

Abstract:

Multi-directional low-frequency vibration isolation is an unavoidable problem in many practical engineering scenarios. However, to date, most works are unable to achieve this goal, and those that can do so only to some degree, but their structure is complex and large, limiting the range of applications in practical engineering. Here, we propose a kind of quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) metamaterial constructed from a series of Kresling-pattern origami-inspired structures, whose simple topology with reasonable design parameters can obtain the expected QZS features. Moreover, the decoupling strategy adopted by the proposed QZS metamaterials allows for the independent motion of adjacent unit cells, resulting in an improvement in controllability and programmability. We demonstrate, both in simulations and experiments, the design process and the multi-directional low-frequency vibration isolation characteristics of the proposed QZS metamaterial. This study provides a method for realizing multi-directional low-frequency vibration isolation, expanding the application potential of QZS metamaterials for broader needs.

Abstract:

Nowadays, composite sandwich tubes are extensively utilized in the civil and aerospace industries due to their superior strength-to-weight mechanical properties. Origami-based core offers a large enhancement of the mechanical properties, yet little study research focuses on the effect of various foldcore configurations on the transverse mechanical properties of sandwich tubes, necessitating the design method for applications. This study introduces an innovative approach by incorporating origami into the composite sandwich core to enhance the transverse energy absorption capacity. The quasi-static transverse mechanical properties of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sandwich tubes with foldcores are studied under three-point bending-like local compression and transverse structural compression. A systematic geometric design framework and numerical modelling technique are provided. By integrating finite element analysis and experiments, the research investigates the effects of various origami foldcore configurations and geometric parameters on transverse energy absorption capacity. The experiment setup is provided by sandwich tubular specimens with a full-diamond configuration as the foldcore. The cylindrical tubes (foldcore) of the sandwich structures were manufactured using four plies [0°]4 of T700 (T300) woven CFRP with the hot press moulding (vacuum bag using female and male moulds) technique respectively. Then, the parametric study and damage mode analysis of eight different foldcore patterns (axial Miura, circumferential Miura, diamond, Kresling, and their curved-creased counterparts) were studied. The results showed the superior energy absorption performance of the sandwich tube with Miura-pattern foldcore over the origami-pattern counterparts, nested tube, and traditional honeycomb sandwich tube with CFRP or aluminium-made cores. Therefore, the structural parameters optimisation of the Miura pattern tube was carried out by the Response Surface method (RSM) and a design strategy for increasing the energy absorption capacity was found. The findings offer guidance for designing high-specific energy absorption tubular structures for future advanced engineering applications.

Abstract:

This article reports on the design, fabrication, and characterization of an in-pipe worm-like soft robot with pneumatic actuators based on origami paper-fabric composites in which the paper and fabric serve as the skeleton and skin of the robot, respectively. The robot is assembled with an extensor of a bellow-like structure for implementing peristaltic locomotion and a clamp fabricated using a Kresling crease pattern at each end of the robot for anchoring. The performances of the pneumatic actuators, as well as the worm robot, are characterized and their dependence on some material, structural, and pneumatic parameters are investigated. Stepwise inflation of the clamp actuator takes place as the pressurization duration increases. The extension ratio of the extensor has a nonlinear relationship with the pressurization duration. The higher rigidity of the paper with a high weight per unit area can facilitate faster retention near the end of the extension process for the extensor with a small number of creases, while it becomes a resistance for the extension of the extensor with a large number of creases. The softness, lightweight features, low cost, ease to fabricate, modular design, and mobility of the worm robot indicate it has potential to find application in pipeline inspection, etc.

Abstract:

Abstract Soft actuators are increasingly drawing attention in robotic application with human-robot interaction. To tackle the challenging actuation problem confronted in the field of soft robotics or bionic engineering, combining origami technique with 3D printing manufacturing method, we propose an origami-inspired 3D-printed soft foldable actuator with the Kresling pattern that can be made in one go. The SFA is composed of a four-layer origami chamber made from soft materials with high resilience and high strength, which is capable of lifting a maximum weight of 2000 g with a contraction ratio of 62%, enduring a vacuum pressure up to 99.8 kPa while tuning longitudinal contraction deformation. Besides, it can generate a high stroke and a large driving force throughout the whole deformation process. Based on the principle of work equilibrium and combined with geometric theory, an analytical theoretical model that can evaluate large contraction deformation and actuation performance is established and validated experimentally, which is helpful for designing other similar soft actuators. Moreover, we analyze the effect of different structural parameters on actuation characteristics of the actuator and obtain an optimized SFA with best matched structural parameters. The SFA possessing multifunctional features is conducive to flexion and extension movement of a bionic anthropomorphic leg and can complete effective actions in some application scenarios including kicking ball, running exercise and grasping target objects, which opens up new opportunities for human-robot interaction and collaboration.

Abstract:

Abstract Origami structures have been widely applied for various engineering applications due to their extraordinary mechanical properties. However, the relationship between in-plane rotating coupling and energy absorption of these Origami structures is seldomly studied previously. The study proposes a design strategy that utilizes identical-twin rotation (i.e., simultaneous rotation with the same chirality) and fraternal-twin rotation (i.e., simultaneous rotation with the opposite chirality) of Kresling metamaterials to achieve multimodal rotation coupling and enhanced energy absorption. Deformation mode and energy absorption properties of 3D-printed Kresling metamaterials have been studied using both quasi-static compression tests and finite element analysis. Furthermore, effects of polygon units and their connections to 2D and 3D arrangements, which generate 4×4 arrays and 2×2×2 arrays, have been investigated to identify the optimized structures for achieving ultra-high energy absorption of chiral Kresling metamaterials. Results showed that rotating coupling of chiral identical twins in multimodal Kresling metamaterials possesses diverse deformation patterns and ultra-high energy absorption. This study provides a novel strategy to optimize structural designs and mechanical properties of the Kresling metamaterials.

Abstract:

Abstract Origami has attracted more and more attention due to its exotic mechanical properties, and the inspired metamaterials are also popular. However, the main focus of current research is on existing origami patterns and properties, although new origami patterns or results that expand on existing origami patterns are gradually emerging. In this paper, we summarize a series of derived structures of the Kresling origami, demonstrating more stable states and richer structural forms. At the same time, a point-searching method is proposed along the ideas of the truss model, which is effective for irregular stable states of these derived structures. On this basis, we create an origami-inspired mechanical metamaterial with foldable property and high load-bearing capacity, fabricate the prototype, and validate its performance through experiments. These works make important contributions for promoting the Kresling origami and origami-inspired metamaterials.

Abstract:

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) have applications in various domains due to their compliance, low cost, and lightweight characteristics. Herein, a geometric origami design for 3‐degree of freedom (DoF) SPAs is presented, which enables manufacturing using 3D printing at one go without any support structure. The proposed method uses a general design parameterization that works for multiple types of cylindrical origami patterns (Kresling, cylindrical Miura, Yoshimura, and Accordion). It is shown that a 3‐DoF pneumatic actuator capable of bending and extension can be constructed by superimposing two cylindrical origami patterns to create a separation of chambers inside of the module. In addition, the design parameters are chosen to reduce the strain during deformation and maximize the output forces of the origami actuator. The actuator is manufactured, and its motion and force profiles are experimentally characterized. The designed origami actuator can bend from to and the length during operation can vary between and of the initial length.

Abstract:

Abstract Origami structures, which were inspired by traditional paper folding arts, have been applied for engineering problems for the last two decades. Origami-based thin-wall tubes have been extensively investigated under axial loadings. However, less has been done with radial stiffness as one of the critical mechanical properties of a tubular structure working under lateral loadings. In this study, the radial stiffness of novel thin-wall tubular structures based on origami patterns have been studied with compression tests and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations. The results show that the radial stiffness of an origami-inspired tube can achieve about 27.1 times that of a circular tube with the same circumcircle diameter (100 mm), height (60 mm), and wall thickness (2 mm). Yoshimura, Kresling, and modified Yoshimura patterns are selected as the basic frames, upon which the influences of different design parameters are tested and discussed. Given that the weight can vary due to different designs, the stiffness-to-weight ratio is also calculated. The origami-inspired tubular structures with superior stiffness performances are obtained and can be extended to crashworthy structures, functional structures, and stiffness enhancement with low structural weight.

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel vibration isolator based on a foldable cylinder with a torsional buckling pattern, which is also called Kresling's pattern, is proposed, and the performance of the proposed isolator in terms of preventing structural vibration is numerically evaluated. It is known that foldable cylinders with a torsional buckling pattern provide bistable folding motions under specific conditions. For simplification, a foldable cylinder with a torsional buckling pattern is modeled using horizontal, longitudinal, and diagonal truss elements connected by rotational joints and enforced by rigid frames, which are also called Rahmen, while maintaining the bistability of the structure. Additional linear springs are incorporated into the structure in order to obtain a nonlinear spring with quasi-zero-stiffness characteristics. It is numerically established that: (i) the resonance of the combined structure is effectively suppressed and (ii) the structure decreases the vibration response even at high frequencies when it is used around the equilibrium position at which the spring stiffness is quasi-zero.
