Folding and Creasing of Thin Plate Structures

Folding and crumpling of thin plates has been studied extensively by many research communities. Creases in thin plate structures appear sometimes in a controlled (folding) or uncontrolled (crumpling) fashion. The detailed behaviour of creasing itself and its effect upon the surrounding plate is an emerging research area underpinned, equally, by geometrical and mechanical processes.

The aim of the workshop was to bring together leading local engineers, scientists, physicists and technologists who research the folding/unfolding and/or creasing of thin plates, in order to

  • present the state-of-art of current understanding in the mechanics of origami
  • discuss existing and possible applications in engineering, robotics, packaging, architecture and biology (for example)
  • help identify, establish, and strengthen, a willing scientific community interested in these problems.

Speakers

Confirmed keynote speakers :

  • Marcelo Dias (Aalto) Wunderlich-Kirchhoff Model and its Application to Curved Creases
  • Etienne Couturier (Paris) Folding in plants
  • Gregory Epps (Robofold) Rise of the machines
  • Keith Seffen (Cambridge) Paradoxical Creased Shells
  • Mark Schenk (Bristol) Residual creases : mechanics of partly-(un)folded structures
  • Frederic Lechenault / Benjamin Thiria (Paris) Origami mechanics: from a single crease to generalized vertices

In addition to keynote lectures, we would like to hear presentations of on-going work (research students are particularly welcome). Please give a title for your presentation, if applicable, when registering: note that the language of the workshop is English.

Another workshop on fold in Berlin

We became aware of another workshop on folding
The fold in sciences, art and design
organized on the same day (26th of March 2015) in Berlin. You can find here the program and the website.
Following this workshop, the Berlin group “3D-structures and codes” published a collection of papers, ”On folding”. Participants to the Paris workshop (Folding and Creasing of Thin Plate Structures) were invited to contribute to this collection.
