Mechanical Engineering Department Seminar

Origami engineering is a rapidly growing field where the principles of the ancient Japanese art of ori-gami are applied to engineering problems. Applications from deployable space structures to minimally invasive surgical instruments can benefit from origami engineering. In this seminar, recent develop-ments in the design of self-folding origami will be presented. A design framework consisting of target shape identification and rigid foldability analysis, modeling and optimization, and prototype fabrication will be described. Particular focus will be on finite element and rigid body dynamic modeling and optimization approaches for single and multi-field actuation of self-folding origami structures. These approaches will be illustrated for several applications including NASA’s starshade and a deployable probe tip for radio frequency ablation of abdominal tumors.
