讲座摘要
This dissertation explores a top-down approach in designing flexible mechanical metamaterials inspired by origami, enabling shape change and adaptability to different environments. It addresses the limitations of bottom-up methods in origami structure design, which focus only on geometry and topology, by introducing an inverse design method with constrained optimization. This method allows for the creation of reconfigurable structures with specific shapes, mobility, and degrees of freedom, and includes strategies for morphing between states. This advancement not only contributes to the field of origami-inspired metamaterials but also provides a versatile tool for designing shape-changing solutions applicable across various scales, from space structures to micro-electrical actuators.
