Glaucio Paulino and researchers from Georgia Tech have developed a new type of origami that can change from one pattern to another to optimize the structural benefits depending on the application or type of loading. According to Paulino, “This hybrid origami allows for reprogrammable mechanical properties and the ability to change those properties while the material is in service,”
These designs could have the potential to make structures lighter, stronger, and cheaper than previous designs. - Daniel Findley, DTC Civil Transportation Instructor
