Abstract
Through unique folding methods and material selection, origami structures enable optimum structural design within a restricted space and provide strong force support. In aerospace engineering, origami-inspired structures are used in designing satellites, probes and other space devices for lightweight, compact and adjustable design requirements. A compression-twist coupled metamaterial inspired by Kresling origami structure consisting of beams and plates is presented in this study, and the vibration response of the structure is investigated. The bandgaps of the structure along longitudinal and transverse directions are studied separately due to the application of the polarization factor. The vibrational modes of the structure are further investigated to elucidate the mechanism of bandgap generation. Parametric studies make the optimal design of bandgap in graded structures possible. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify the correctness of the structural dynamic response. This research provides a new perspective on the design of origami-inspired metamaterial structures in terms of dynamics control and bandgap tuning.
