Preliminary Research on the Bending Behaviour of Curved Origami in Shape Determination
摘要
Curved origami has potential to be applied in the design of architectural geometry owing to unique configuration and the mechanical behaviour. This paper is focused on the mechanical behaviour in the shape design. If the fully developed flat situation is defined as the original state, the state in three-dimensional configuration is formed with bending deformation. Because curved origami is formed by developable surfaces, the mechanical properties including the bending deformation can be described by the principal curvature of the surfaces. Hence, the shape determination approach in this paper is especially concentrated on the surface curvatures.
