abstract

  • Origami-inspired structures, the reinterpretation of traditional Japanese art, grant versatile and adaptable designs. The transformation of shape features has made these structures a subject of interest in various fields and thus becomes an important topic for extensive research. Origami patterns, including Miura-Ori, Kresling, Ron Resch, Water-bomb, and Flasher, are the ones which have influenced the models and designs which have exclusive properties for different applications. The Kresling pattern has gained much attention due to the simplicity of mechanics in the folding and unfolding procedure, which makes it more practical and popular. In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of the research status on structures inspired by the Kresling pattern; the structure of this review is divided into six main sections. We start with the evaluation of recent review articles on the Kresling pattern and summarize the methodologies used. We then present the various application domains in which these structures are applied; we present highly referenced articles which use the Kresling pattern in their research. Further sections detail the materials used in such structures, the methodologies used in the reviewed research, and the sustainability analysis of the research. We conclude the review with an overview of our findings.
