A Kirigami-Inspired Folding Method for Miura Thick Panel
摘要
This paper investigated the folding method of the Miura thick panel and obtained the basic cell of the Miura thick panel by introducing cuttings. Based on the Rodrigues spinor theory, the motion path of the basic cell was analyzed. The relationship between the coordinates of feature points and the folding angle was obtained, and it was proved that the basic cell of the Miura thick panel is a four-degree of freedom (DOF) unit. The connection rules on the two basic cells are studied, and the folding feasibility of basic cells under different connection rules is discussed. To extend the topology of the basic cell, an 8R-Loop element was introduced to eliminate the redundant DOF of the 2 * 2 Miura thick panel topology element, and the overall folding performance was analyzed.
