ME SEMINAR Series: Paul Plucinsky, Programming and Predicting the Effective Shapes of Origami and Kirigami Surfaces

1010 DOW 2300 Hayward St, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

Shape-morphing finds widespread utility, from the deployment of small stents and large solar sails to actuation and propulsion in soft robotics. Origami and kirigami – patterns of cuts and folds in a sheet – are versatile platforms for shape-morphing, inspiring the design of many such structures and devices. This talk explores the general design and modeling principles for origami and kirigami structures.
