Abstract
Rigid origami offers innovative approaches for designing metamaterials with unique mechanical properties. This paper proposes a new family of one-degree-of-freedom (one-DOF) radial-motion honeycomb metamaterials based on a novel rigid origami pattern. First, metamaterial cells based on this pattern were designed and assembled into origami honeycomb structures. The synchronized one-DOF radial motion exhibited by these cells was verified through both circulation laws and an improved Denavit–Hartenberg (D–H) parametric method. The conditions for avoiding physical interference between metamaterial cells and the scalability and geometric kinematic properties of such cells were then investigated. The Poisson's ratios of the metamaterials were analyzed under both linear and nonlinear material properties, with the results showing constant negative Poisson's ratios in all three directions. It was shown that, when nonlinear effects were considered, the negative Poisson's ratio increased with the elastic modulus of the material. Finally, potential engineering applications of the origami honeycomb structure were evaluated, including a novel honeycomb concrete composite structure with potential applications in high axial load environments such as buildings and bridge pillars.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
