Springer Active Origami: Modeling, Design, and Applications

Explore the science of origami structures with Active Origami: Modeling, Design, and Applications by Springer. This book addresses the growing interest in theoretical and computational origami among engineers worldwide. It provides a comprehensive theory for origami structures by combining the principles of origami, active materials, and solid mechanics. The text focuses on structures morphed via active material actuation and those formed from sheets of finite thickness. By examining how planar forms can be used to deploy large structures from small volumes, this work provides essential insights into reconfigurable systems and fabrication methods. It is an essential resource for understanding the mechanics and design of advanced origami-based engineering applications.
