| Summary: | <p>The ability of origami to alter its
properties and behaviors with its shape makes it an elegant source of
inspiration for many engineering designs challenges. Fold states specify the
shape of the origami – its facets, creases, and fold angles. Origami
research recognizes several acknowledged fold states: the unfolded, fully
folded, and flat-folded states. However, these fold states are not
comprehensive, excluding some of the most predominant fold states in
origami-based devices. In this paper we propose a comprehensive list of fold
states based on fold angles. We support the method of categorizing fold
states by evaluating the functions and fold states of a large sample of
origami-based devices. These correlations provide insight for selecting fold
states for origami-based design. We discuss properties and behaviors of the
fold states individually and provide a process for fold-state selection.</p> |
