Traditionally, origami-based structures are designed on the premise of “rigid folding,” However, every act of folding and unfolding is accompanied by elastic deformations in real structures. This study focuses on these elastic deformations in order to expand origami into a new method of designing morphing structures. The authors start by proposing a simple model for evaluating elastic deformation in nonrigid origami structures. Next, these methods are applied to deployable plate models…

Here are folding instructions (Crease Pattern and a photo diagram with step-by-step instructions) for folding Stars and Squares Tessellation, a model I designed in 2015 independently with Shuzo Fujimoto who invented the same pattern before 1982 (it is featured in his book Invitation to Creative Playing with Origami). Each molecule uses a 4×4 square grid. You can achieve an interesting effect by using a square piece of paper and a grid rotated 45°. This tessellation also looks nice when…

This is a variation in which there is no space between one cube and the next. It has been folded by ted385 on the origami forum but his camera doesn't work. I decided to draw the crease pattern so that others may fold it to see the final result. I'm not 100% sure that I've got the crease pattern correct here since I haven't folded it myself, but I'm fairly certain this is how it should go.
