This paper presents a new elastic origami-inspired structure with quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) characteristics to provide effective low-frequency vibration isolation performance. The geometric structure of the origami mechanism is first introduced, followed by the establishment of its mechanical model through the integration of elastic joints with compression springs. The derived strong nonlinear stiffness characteristics of the elastic origami mechanism are conducive to exploring a QZS isolator w...

Testing by Vis-NIR spectroscopy is a sustainable and cost efficient alternative to many wet chemical methods, including paint and coatings.

Inspired by the strong nonlinearity of origami cartons, a novel origami-inspired constant-force mechanism (OriCFM) is systematically studied for obtaining a stable quasi-static constant force output. The proposed OriCFM is evolved by adding equivalent springs at horizontal and oblique creases of the rigid origami mechanism. Based on the geometry relationship, the mechanical model of the origami carton is established and its zero-stiffness is obtained. The influence of structural parameters and s...
