Hidden symmetries generate rigid folding mechanisms in periodic origami
James McInerney, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Louis Theran +2
We consider the zero-energy deformations of periodic origami sheets with generic crease patterns. Using a mapping from the linear folding motions of such sheets to force-bearing mo…

Topological elasticity of flexible structures
Adrien Saremi, Zeb Rocklin
Flexible mechanical metamaterials possess repeating structural motifs that imbue them with novel, exciting properties including programmability, anomalous elastic moduli and nonlin…

Controlling the Deformation of Metamaterials: Corner Modes via Topology
Adrien Saremi, D. Zeb Rocklin
Topological metamaterials have invaded the mechanical world, demonstrating acoustic cloaking and waveguiding at finite frequencies and variable, tunable elastic response at zero fr…
