PARTIAL ABSTRACT: Paper folding is found across cultures for both aesthetic and functional purposes, with its most widely recognized exponent being the ancient art form of origami. More recently, there has been an upsurge of interest for translating origami designs into mathematics, natural sciences, engineering, and architecture. Across these different fields, origami is becoming a fountain of inspiration for new reconfigurable and multifunctional materials and structures. However, the use of origami designs as engineering elements is typically compromised by . . .
