Abstract

Abstract The performance and behavior of origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials are closely related to their structural design and the joints sub equivalent to the crease, in addition to material selection. Current research on square-twist origami focused on the unidirectional formation between its stable states. However, the complete process of squeezing-folding and stretching-unfolding as well as the mechanical behavior under tensile loading have not been thoroughly studied. In this study, square-twist origami mechanical metamaterials (STOMMs) with soft joints are proposed and investigated. The complete process of typical STOMMs from a flat state to folded stable state by extrusion folding and then returning to a flat state by stretch unfolding is explored using the finite element method. The strain energy and deformation characteristics of STOMMs are revealed at eight special stages during the folding, stable state, and unfolding processes. Additionally, the influence of geometric parameters on strain energy, deformation, and tensile behavior is also investigated. Finally, inspired by origami chirality, combinatorial mechanical metamaterials with self-locking/non-self-locking behavior are proposed and validated for their tensile and self-locking behavior. The studies could provide new content for origami-inspired soft joint mechanical metamaterials in terms of self-locking and load-bearing.
