Origami Mechanics
Here we use scaffolded dna origami to integrate stiff double stranded dna dsdna and flexible ssdna components to create mechanical devices capable of precise motion over 10 100 nm range.
Origami mechanics. To allow motion the mechanism s folding lines must operate similarly to the paper pattern regardless of hinge used. 2015 itai cohen internal site physics department lab of atomic solid state physics. We ve made a couple of posts in the past about anime themed models.
This melting pot of art and science has been productive for both sides. From a simple traditional cicada to an extremely intricate one wat. An origami structure consists of an interconnected set of folds each with a specific rest angle.
Origami mechanics and reprogrammable metamaterials. The kinematics of the origami pattern will often prevent each fold from assuming its rest angle resulting in a self stressed state which can influence the mechanical behaviour of the structure 4 16 25 27 30 31. When i saw the designs from origami rxman however i knew we had to do a gundam specific post.
Origami structures are mechanical metamaterials with properties that arise almost exclusively from the geometry of the constituent folds and the constraint of piecewise isometric deformations. In the last 20 years scientists engineers and mathematicians have shown a steady and increasing interest in the field. The origami hypar is a unique intriguing and geometrically complex structure that was first discovered through art and architecture.
Origami inspired mechanisms can be created from a wide variety of materials. This article discusses the mechanics of origami and kirigami with a view toward understanding how to design self folding origami structures. Whether an origami structure can be made to fold autonomously depends strongly on the geometry and kinematics of the origami fold pattern.
Whereas rotational 19 20 32 41 44 46 49 and small linear motions 36 50 56 have been demonstrated the mechanics of this motion have not been studied in any detail. On one hand quantitative and technological advances have expanded the artistic repertoire and led to software like freeform origami and treemaker that assists in designing ultra realistic fold. In nanoscale design specific mechanical motion has seldom been explored.
The gundam anime series is a science fiction anime series that started back in 1979. It s one of the oldest anime series and pretty much defined the giant robot anime genre. Cell sized robots with curiosity daily podcast.
Here we characterize the geometry and planar and nonplanar effective elastic response of a simple periodically. Lang explains origami in 11 levels of difficulty. This article collects some of the results on origami rigidity into a single framework and discusses how these aspects affect the foldability of origami.
Origami is widely known as the art of paper folding.
