Princeton researchers uncover hidden mathematical link between origami and structural design
R&D Editors
Designing irregular structures often means wrestling with huge systems of equations. Princeton engineers have found a shortcut, using a mathematical bridge between origami and tensegrity to preserve known mechanical properties as a structure shifts into a more complex shape. Tensegrity is a structural principle where a continuous network of tension (cables or strings) and a… The post Princeton researchers uncover hidden mathematical link between origami and structural design appeared first on Re
