Inverse design of 3D reconfigurable curvilinear modular origami structures using geometric and topological reconstructions.

ABSTRACT: The recent development of modular origami structures has ushered in an era for active metamaterials with multiple degrees of freedom (multi-DOF). Notably, no systematic inverse design approach for 3D curvilinear modular origami structures has been reported. Moreover, very few modular origami topologies have been studied to design active metamaterials with multi-DOF. Herein, we develop an inverse design method for constructing 3D reconfigurable architected structures - we synthesize modular origami structures whose unit cells can be volumetrically mapped into a prescribed 3D curvilinear shape followed by volumetric shrinkage to construct modules. After modification of the tubular geometry, we search through all the possible geometric and topological combinations of the modular origami struc
