In the mathematics of paper folding, the big-little-big lemma is a necessary condition for a crease pattern with specified mountain folds and valley folds to be able to be folded flat. [1] It differs from Kawasaki's theorem , which characterizes the flat-foldable crease patterns in which a mountain-valley assignment has not yet been made.
The origami crane diagram, using the Yoshizawa–Randlett system. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system is a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Many origami books begin with a description of basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models.
The placement of a point on a curved fold in the pattern may require the solution of elliptic integrals. Curved origami allows the paper to form developable surfaces that are not flat. [41] Wet-folding origami is a technique evolved by Yoshizawa that allows curved folds to create an even greater range of shapes of higher order complexity.
Crease pattern for a Miura fold. The parallelograms of this example have 84° and 96° angles. The Miura fold is a rigid fold that has been used to pack large solar panel arrays for space satellites, which have to be folded before deployment. Robert J. Lang has applied rigid origami to the problem of folding a space telescope. [7]
During the 1960s, Shuzo Fujimoto was the first to explore twist fold tessellations in any systematic way, coming up with dozens of patterns and establishing the genre in the origami mainstream. Around the same time period, Ron Resch patented some tessellation patterns as part of his explorations into kinetic sculpture and developable surfaces ...
Given two distinct points p 1 and p 2, there is a unique fold that passes through both of them. Given two distinct points p 1 and p 2, there is a unique fold that places p 1 onto p 2. Given two lines l 1 and l 2, there is a fold that places l 1 onto l 2. Given a point p 1 and a line l 1, there is a unique fold perpendicular to l 1 that passes ...
Crease pattern for a swordsman. A crease pattern (commonly referred to as a CP) [1] is an origami diagram that consists of all or most of the creases in the final model, rendered into one image. This is useful for diagramming complex and super-complex models, where the model is often not simple enough to diagram efficiently.
Tomoko Fuse (布施 知子, Fuse Tomoko, born in Niigata, 1951) is a Japanese origami artist and author of numerous books on the subject of modular origami, and is by many considered as a renowned master in such discipline.
