Inverse design of 3D reconfigurable architected materials

Submitted by Joshua on

We developed an inverse design method for constructing 3D reconfigurable architected structures โ€” we synthesized modular origami structures whose unit cells can be volumetrically mapped into a prescribed 3D curvilinear shape followed by volumetric shrinkage for constructing modules. After modification of tubular geometry, we searched modular origamisโ€™ geometry and topology for target mobility using a topological reconstruction of modules.
