Main Results:

  • The Miura-ori pattern demonstrated a coexistence of positive and negative Poisson's ratios, coupled with high shear performance and an infinite bulk modulus.
  • The Ron Resch pattern exhibited remarkable load-bearing capabilities due to its unique folding mechanism.

Conclusions:

  • Origami structures can be effectively utilized as mechanical metamaterials.
  • The folding geometry significantly influences the mechanical response, offering pathways to novel material design.
