Twist-coupled Kirigami cells and mechanisms

Manipulation of thin sheets by folding and cutting offers opportunity to engineer structures with novel mechanical properties, and to prescribe complex force–displacement relationships via material elasticity in combination with the trajectory imposed by the fold pattern. Here we study the mechanics...
