New Kresling Origami Geometry: The Offset Cell

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

The Kresling cell is an origami-inspired structure that can undergo a large, bistable shape change. We modify the standard Kresling cell such that its top and bottom faces are non-concentric in the folded state and angled in the expanded state. This new geometry maintains the bistabillity and geometric relations of the original cell while unlocking new kinematics and ways of tuning cell energy barriers.
