J. Flores, L. Stein-Montalvo, and S. Adriaenssens. Effect of crease curvature on the bistability of the origami waterbomb base. Extreme Mechanics Letters 57, 101909 (2022)
In contrast to traditional origami with straight creases, in curved-crease origami, folding leads to panel bending. Thus, curved-crease origami could potentially produce stiffer, tunable, structures with fewer folds. Yet, the mechanics and deformations of curved-crease origami are not well-understood. We study these mechanics through the lens of the bistable waterbomb base.
