Self-Foldable Origami-Architected Metamaterials
Technological progress and increasingly environmental-related problems call for new cutting-edge design strategies to improve materials’ functionalities. The S-FOAM's challenge is to breakthrough metamaterial design by implanting origami/kirigami capabilities within architected cellular structures at different scales, thus bringing metamaterials to unprecedented mechanical performance. The resulting metamaterials will combine multistability, anisotropy, geometrical frustration, control of localized deformation, and ellipticity loss to achieve a new capability: self-foldability and shape-morphing induced by external stimuli. Unlike what happens in currently available origami, the location of…
