Universal scaling law of an origami paper spring

This letter solves an open question of origami paper spring risen by Yoneda et al. (Phys. Rev. E 2019). By using both dimensional analysis and data fitting, an universal scaling law of a paper spring is formulated. The scaling law shows that origami spring force obeys power square law of spring exte...
