... of these meta-materials can be further investigated. Applications of these stacked origami structures can be found in impact absorption and deployable structures. We foresee promising potential for the OCT and its stacked structure to unfold a new generation of applications in engineering and robotics...

...Dong-Jie Zhao; Jing-Shan Zhao; Zheng-Fang Yan This paper investigates the application of a planar deployable structure with screw theory and discusses its possible applications in overconstrained lift platforms via calculating its stiffness. These platforms are all made up of a number of identical...
