Bifurcation reordering programs snap-through symmetry in folded elastic ribbons
Weicheng Huang, Qun Zhang, Bohan Zhang +1
Snap-through in slender elastic structures is often viewed as a sudden transition between stable configurations, yet the pathway taken during this transition can differ fundamental…

Dimple-Encoded Reprogrammable Origami
Qun Zhang, Weicheng Huang, Amir Hajiyavand +4
Programmable folding of elastic sheets typically relies on predefined flexible creases or active materials-enabled hinges, which lack intrinsic bistability and limit reprogrammabil…

Localization of deformation in the central hub of hub-and-spoke kirigami
Jason Barckicke, Lucie Domino, Qun Zhang +2
A recent approach to the design of flexible electronic devices consists of cutting a two-dimensional sheet to form a central hub connected to several tapered `spokes', resembling t…
