When Will the Existence of a Non-trivial State Guarantee a Continuous Motion for a Quad-Mesh Rigid Origami?
摘要
Regarding quad-mesh rigid origami, the flat-foldable pattern exhibits a widely acknowledged geometrical property—a non-trivial state guarantees a continuous motion. This article provides a sufficient condition for this motion-guarantee property in the generalized setting. Our method is a detailed algebraic analysis on the coupled two-vertex systems constituting the quad-mesh patterns. The result is expected to be a useful tool for inverse design applications.
