We consider the zero-energy deformations of periodic origami sheets with generic crease patterns. Using a mapping from the linear folding motions of such sheets to force-bearing modes in conjunction with the Maxwell-Calladine index theorem we derive a relation between the number of linear folding motions and the number of rigid body modes that depends only on the average coordination number of the origamis vertices. This supports the recent result by Tachi which shows periodic origami sheets with triangular faces exhibit two-dimensional spaces of rigidly foldable cylindrical configurations. We also find, through analytical calculation and numerical simulation, branching of this configuration space from the flat state due to geometric compatibility constraints that prohibit finite Gaussian curvature. The same counting argument leads to pairing of spatially varying modes at opposite wavenumber in triangulated origami, preventing topological polarization but permitting a family of zero energy deformations in the bulk that may be used to reconfigure the origami sheet.

Rigid origami, with applications ranging from nano-robots to unfolding solar sails in space, describes when a material is folded along straight crease line segments while keeping the regions between the creases planar. Prior work has found explicit e
quations for the folding angles of a flat-foldable degree-4 origami vertex. We extend this work to generalized symmetries of the degree-6 vertex where all sector angles equal $60^circ$. We enumerate the different viable rigid folding modes of these degree-6 crease patterns and then use $2^{nd}$-order Taylor expansions and prior rigid folding techniques to find algebraic folding angle relationships between the creases. This allows us to explicitly compute the configuration space of these degree-6 vertices, and in the process we uncover new explanations for the effectiveness of Weierstrass substitutions in modeling rigid origami. These results expand the toolbox of rigid origami mechanisms that engineers and materials scientists may use in origami-inspired designs.
Folding mechanisms are zero elastic energy motions essential to the deployment of origami, linkages, reconfigurable metamaterials and robotic structures. In this paper, we determine the fate of folding mechanisms when such structures are miniaturized
so that thermal fluctuations cannot be neglected. First, we identify geometric and topological design strategies aimed at minimizing undesired thermal energy barriers that generically obstruct kinematic mechanisms at the microscale. Our findings are illustrated in the context of a quasi one-dimensional linkage structure that harbors a topologically protected mechanism. However, thermal fluctuations can also be exploited to deliberately lock a reconfigurable metamaterial into a fully expanded configuration, a process reminiscent of order by disorder transitions in magnetic systems. We demonstrate that this effect leads certain topological mechanical structures to exhibit an abrupt change in the pressure -- a bulk signature of the underlying topological invariant at finite temperature. We conclude with a discussion of anharmonic corrections and potential applications of our work to the the engineering of DNA origami devices and molecular robots.
Geometric compatibility constraints dictate the mechanical response of soft systems that can be utilized for the design of mechanical metamaterials such as the negative Poisson ratio Miura-ori origami crease pattern. We examine the broad family of cr
ease patterns composed of unit cells with four generic parallelogram faces, expanding upon the family of Morph patterns, and characterize the familys low-energy modes via a permutation symmetry between vertices. We map these modes to the resulting strains and curvatures at the intercellular level where the same symmetries elucidate a geometric relationship between the strains of the systems rigid planar mode and the curvatures of its semi-rigid bend mode. Our formalism for the analysis of low-energy modes generalizes to arbitrary numbers of quadrilateral---not necessarily parallelogram---faces where symmetries may play an important role in the design of origami metamaterials.
There are deep, but hidden, geometric structures within jammed systems, associated with hidden symmetries. These can be revealed by repeated transformations under which these structures lead to fixed points. These geometric structures can be found in
the Voronoi tesselation of space defined by the packing. In this paper we examine two iterative processes: maximum inscribed sphere (MIS) inversion and a real-space coarsening scheme. Under repeated iterations of the MIS inversion process we find invariant systems in which every particle is equal to the maximum inscribed sphere within its Voronoi cell. Using a real-space coarsening scheme we reveal behavior in geometric order parameters which is length-scale invariant.
In this paper, we will show methods to interpret some rigid origami with higher degree vertices as the limit case of structures with degree-4 supplementary angle vertices. The interpretation is based on separating each crease into two parallel crease
