Design and Analysis of Structural Folding Origami

The origami is transforming a flat sheet into some other shapes. It extends the mechanical properties of thin walled shells by introducing a local texture pattern, with surface features at a scale intermediate to the material and its structure. The primary application of local texture in thin-walled shells has been to increase the shell’s bending stiffness, their ability to absorb impact through plastic deformation of the texture pattern and in plane flexibility.
